Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser used her time on stage to mock the
network broadcasting the Hollywood awards show.
?I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room
tonight. It?s insane,? Glaser said during her opening monologue. ?There
are so many A-listers, and by A-list, I do mean a list that has been
heavily redacted. And the Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to the
Justice Department. Yes. Congratulations.?
The host was seemingly referencing the redacted 30,000 documents
related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein released by the Justice Department just days before Christmas.
?And the award for most editing goes to CBS News,? the comedian added
as the audience laughed and applauded. ?Yes, CBS News, America?s newest
place to see BS news. We needed another.?
This dig likely referenced CBS News, under the new leadership of Bari
Weiss, yanking a ?60 Minutes? segment on the Salvadoran prison where
the Trump administration has sent hundreds of illegal immigrants.
Critics said the move ?reeks of political pressure.?

Glaser?s comments come one week after anchor Tony Dokoupil began
hosting ?CBS Evening News? and months after the network welcomed Weiss,
the new Editor-in-Chief, who formerly worked at The New York Times and
founded The Free Press. Weiss was offered the job by David Ellison, the founder of Skydance and Paramount?s chairman, following a merger.
Dokoupil delivered a New Year?s Day message promising changes in
coverage at the legacy media network, as The Daily Wire previously
reported.
?On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we?ve
taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average
American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or
elites, and not enough on you,? the anchor said in part. ?And I know
this because, at certain points, I have been you. I have felt this way,
too. I have felt like what I was seeing and hearing on the news didn?t
reflect what I was seeing and hearing in my own life ? and that the
most urgent questions simply weren?t being asked.?
?So here?s my promise to you,? Dokoupil continued. ?You come first. Not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests. And yes, that
does include the corporate owners of CBS. I report for you ? which
means I tell you what I know, when I know it, and how I know it. And
when I get it wrong, I?ll tell you that, too.?
Many mainstream leftists have been critical of the changes at CBS and
pushed back against their proposed new direction of responsible,
factual journalism that?s free from bias.
Stars at the Golden Globes used the red carpet to signal their leftist
virtues and air their grievances against President Donald Trump?s
enforcement of immigration law. Following the shooting death of anti-
ICE activist Renee Good during a confrontation with ICE agents ? an
incident the administration maintains was self-defense ? the red carpet
on Sunday transformed into a sea of ?Be Good? and ?ICE OUT? pins.
Several celebrities mentioned ICE and Trump during red carpet
interviews at the event on Sunday night.

Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
love this country.
