6:55Now PlayingAs President Trump ramps up pressure on the press, mainstream media outlets are quietly folding, changing policies, rearranging coverage, and preemptively bending the knee to avoid becoming the next MAGA target.
But not everyone’s playing along. This morning, CBS CEO Wendy McMahon resigned amid Trump’s escalating political attacks on the network. It’s a clear message: comply or get crushed.
So why is Trump so obsessed with controlling the media? And why are supposedly independent newsrooms acting like state-run PR machines before they’re even told to?

Because this isn’t just media criticism—it’s media capture.
