CBS News, the once-mighty network that’s spent decades pushing anti-2A narratives under the guise of journalism, is crumbling from within. Staffers at the far-left CBS Evening News are rushing to grab buyouts ahead of a wave of impending layoffs, as reported by Breitbart’s John Nolte. This isn’t just another media bloodbath—it’s a symptom of a dying legacy media empire that’s hemorrhaging viewers, advertisers, and credibility faster than a liberal fact-checker spotting a Trump tweet. With ratings in the toilet and trust polls showing mainstream outlets as less believable than a politician’s promise, CBS is scrambling to slash costs, but the real story is the exodus of the very propagandists who’ve demonized gun owners for generations.
Think about the context: CBS has been ground zero for some of the most egregious anti-Second Amendment hit pieces, from breathlessly covering every mass shooting with calls for common-sense reforms (code for confiscation) to platforming experts who claim AR-15s are weapons of war while ignoring FBI stats on how rifles rank low in crime stats. These buyouts signal that the foot soldiers of that war—producers, reporters, and editors who’ve shaped the narrative equating law-abiding gun owners with terrorists—are jumping ship. It’s poetic justice after years of biased coverage that fueled everything from Bloomberg-funded ad blitzes to ATF overreach. As they cash out, who’s left to fill the void? Likely a skeleton crew of even more ideologically rigid holdouts, churning out the same slanted stories with fewer resources.
For the 2A community, this is a massive win and a wake-up call. Legacy media’s decline means less centralized power to smear patriots as extremists, opening doors for independent voices on platforms like YouTube, Rumble, and X to dominate the conversation with facts—like how armed citizens stop active shooters 94% of the time per the Crime Prevention Research Center. Implications? Expect desperate flailing: more sensationalist exposés on gun violence epidemics to boost dwindling eyeballs, but with reduced staff, their reach shrinks. Gun owners should double down on supporting pro-2A creators, boycotting what’s left of CBS sponsors, and celebrating as the mainstream’s monopoly shatters. The Second Amendment endures because truth outlives propaganda—and right now, the truth is winning.
