Oh look, Trump is now violating the first amendment.

“More alarmingly, the company agreed to never-before-seen forms of government control over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment—actions that violate both the First Amendment and the law. A government-sanctioned ‘truth arbiter’ will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists at CBS do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. That should alarm anyone who values the core democratic principle of a free and independent press.
On the contrary, this is a government official using her government position to spread misinformation simply because she personally dislikes Trump.
And you have evidence that this is disinformation, how?
Because I have alot that says it is real.

And there's the head of the FCC saying the same thing.
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-413229A1.pdf
Skydance has made written commitments to ensuring that the new company’s array of news and entertainment programming will embody a diversity of viewpoints across the political and ideological spectrum and that CBS’s reporting will be fair, unbiased, and fact-based. To promote transparency and increased accountability, Skydance commits, for a period of at least two years, to have in place an ombudsman who will report to the President of New Paramount and evaluate complaints of bias.
On an unrelated note: Trump helps his friends.

And then distracts us by declaring martial law in DC.

It's disinformation because an ombudsman has no legal power whatsoever inside a company.
"the company agreed to never-before-seen forms of government control over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment"
This is simply not true at all. The government still can't control anything CBS does. You can make the claim "well they just won't use legal means to do it, it's quid-pro-quo under the table!" Well, if that were the case, then they don't need an ombudsman at all. You might as well tell me Trump already does that with all media companies.
This is simply not true at all. The government still can't control anything CBS does.
The FCC would disagree with you.

Yeah, this.
The FCC can revoke their broadcasting license or deny renewals. And while I'm sure there are rules about it but Trump's administration doesn't care about rules.
