Wednesday was a grim day at CBS News as reportedly around 100 people were axed as part of long-rumored layoffs numbering 2,000 people across its parent company Paramount Skydance. The ranks of those let go were vast and deep with both remaining CBS Saturday Morning hosts shown the door, correspondents with decades of experience (and all women), its Race and Culture unit, and even two entire shows. Most notably, CBS Saturday Morning co-hosts Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller were reportedly let go, along with their executive producer Brian Applegate. Miller had been with CBS since 2004 and Jacobson since 2018. While the New York Post said the show will be “slated for a radical revamp,” The Los Angeles Times’s Stephen Battaglio reported Wednesday afternoon the show would live on with “a new format that will align it closer to the weekday show.” Either way, it was unclear as of Wednesday night whether a  final episode will air of the current format. Miller provided years of reliable biased content for NewsBusters as well as anytime her husband Marc Morial of the far-left National Urban League surfaced on a CBS show and their ties went undisclosed. Two other shows going by the wayside are CBS Mornings Plus and CBS Evening News Plus. Mornings Plus launched on September 30, 2024 and has been co-hosted by Tony Dokoupil and Adriana Diaz featuring new interviews, a “By the Way” deep dive on a major story of the day (which we often picked up at NewsBusters), and extended conversations with guests from CBS Mornings. Despite having only been on the air since February 10, CBS Evening News Plus’s demise was far less surprising given anchor John Dickerson’s Monday announcement he would be leaving the network at year’s end. Status’s Oliver Darcy reported Monday that Dickerson’s departure had been in the works for some time given the pompous, liberal anchor’s tilt bearing little resemblance to what editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is building. That said, we’re selfishly sad to see Evening News Plus head out to pasture as Dickerson’s end-of-show commentaries were rife with partisan, pompous sneering. In the correspondent ranks, senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was let go despite having been a mainstay on CBS since 2013. Patta’s presence has almost been ubiquitous since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terror attacks on Israel as she reliably peddled the Gazan propaganda of the day. As per Battaglio, the other on-air talent who were laid off consisted of New York-based national correspondents Nikki Battiste and Nancy Chen, Texas-based correspondent Janet Shamlian (who had a decade at NBC before six years at CBS), and contributor Lisa Ling. Battiste (in the adjacent photo) had been on air a day before receiving the proverbial pink slip, offering the latest report on passion project of hers in spotlighting the IVF industry and depths couples will go to have children. As elitist, legacy, liberal media continue to lose both credibility and viewership, this marked the latest set of major layoffs at third-place CBS News. Past waves included layoffs in May 2020 enveloping the late Mark Knoller, September 2024 (that included former Evening News anchor Jeff Glor), and February 2024 (which caught up D.C.-based Christina Ruffini).

On October 27, conservative firebrand and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, star of the hit Christian podcast “Relatable,” commanded the stage at Turning Point USA’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana, tour stop, where over 1,500 cheering college students packed the Raising Canes River Center Theatre to capacity.Allie opened by encouraging the crowd with her favorite Charlie-ism — the phrase he used to encourage her with when the media tried to smear her: “Keep slugging.”“I want you to think of that phrase every minute of every day. The only thing that you can do with the grace and the power of God is to keep slugging — first for the honor and the glory of Jesus Christ, but also in honor of Charlie Kirk,” she said as students stood to their feet and applauded.She then launched into an inspiring speech titled “5 of Charlie Kirk’s Most Controversial Truths.” Truth #1: Feminism has failed women While the feminist movement claims to be pro-women and pro-equality, it’s actually worked to women’s detriment. Instead of making women equal to men, the feminist movement sought to make women the same as men. “It has fed us this lie that in order to be respected, that we women have to talk like men, that we have to act like men, that we have to be like men,” Allie said.But that required forsaking the very things that make us women — primarily being moms and wives, which the feminist industrial complex has demonized by pushing abortion, sexual liberation, and gender abolitionism.Feminism has “left each and every one of its followers lonelier and more broken,” said Allie, who then reminded the women in the audience the truth about who they are.“Your value, your worth comes from the God who created you. ... You were made in God’s image, and your equal worth, your inherent worth, comes from that reality. It doesn't come from feminism. ... You can be strong, and you can be courageous, and you can be brilliant, and you can be hardworking, and you do not need to act like a man to do that.”Truth #2: Porn has weakened menPornography, Allie candidly explained, doesn’t just harm men; it harms everyone and everything we ought to hold dear: women, children, marriage, and psychological and physical safety. Porn “objectifies women and children,” “commercializes sex,” “glorifies violence,” “creates addiction and shame,” “destroys marriages,” “ruins your perception of other people,” and has become “the legal loophole for sex trafficking,” she warned.“Men, we need you, and we need your masculinity, and we need your strength, and we need your boldness, and we need your courage, and we need those things to be harnessed for good,” Allie pleaded.“We need really strong men, and porn makes you weak.”Truth #3: Merit always trumps DEIThe fear of oppression based on skin color, gender, or any other trait is a hardship Americans today don’t have to worry about.“And so, we should not be doling out punishments or doling out rewards based on what people look like, based on their sex, based on how they identify. That is actually called partiality, and the Bible calls it a sin,” Allie declared.The truth was, is, and will always be that nothing in life is “fair.” “There are different circumstances surrounding our births, different economic situations, different kinds of parents, different kinds of springboards that we’re given, different kinds of setbacks, a different set of strengths, a different set of weaknesses, different kind of personality, different connections that we all make,” Allie said.Man’s futile attempt to level the playing field in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion only creates more of the evils, like racism and sexism, it supposedly aims to eradicate.Allie, echoing Charlie, clarified that “what matters across the board is excellence. What matters across the board is hard work. None of us is entitled to anything ... so we should only reward that which someone works for through her own talents and efforts.”Truth #4: America is a Christian nationLeftists who are threatened by Judeo-Christian principles that challenge every progressive narrative often try to erase America’s deeply religious heritage. They pretend Enlightenment-based ideals, not Christian doctrine, are the bedrock of the nation’s foundation.But that’s a lie.While, yes, our founders passionately believed in free speech and expression — core Enlightenment ideas — these values didn’t contradict or eclipse their commitment to God.“From the Declaration of Independence to all of our founding documents, all of the founders at the very least understood that it was the direction of providence, the Creator of the universe, the giver of all rights, that laid the foundation for this country, is the source of liberty, and the author of morality,” Allie said.“America makes no sense without Christianity. America makes no sense without the recognition, as we read in the Declaration of Independence, that we were given certain unalienable rights ... given to us by a Creator whose power transcends the government, and therefore, the government cannot arbitrarily take those rights away,” she declared. “That is the foundation on which our country is built.”Truth #5: Jesus is the only way to HeavenThis particular truth — the central message of the gospel — is the one that got Charlie killed and the one that makes him a martyr, Allie said.She then shared the good news of salvation through Jesus with those in the crowd who aren’t believers. “By grace through faith, if you believe in that gospel, you won’t die, but you’ll have eternal life,” she encouraged.“Charlie was first an evangelist, he was first an apologist before he was a political activist or an organizer, and he shared that gospel. He died for that gospel because he believed it to be true. And he wanted you to know that it’s true. And I want you to know that it’s true.”Allie ended with this powerful reminder: “One day Jesus is coming back, and there will be no more politics. There will be no more debate. There will be no more division.”“But he’s not here yet, which means that in the meantime ... we’ve got work to do. And that might look different for every single one of us, but let me tell you what I tell my audience all the time. ... Do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.”To hear Allie’s full speech, watch the video above.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
