CBS News is the first major media outlet to halt activity on the social media site, which could spark a devastating blow to Elon and co. if more publishers decide this isn't the place for news anymore.

's failed effort to quash a subpoena she's been roped into. The account also retweeted a TV segment discussing the DOJ's new special counsel investigating. Both of those were posted almost a full 24 hours ago, and CBS News hasn't tweeted anything new since.

Ditto for local affiliates, it seems. KPIX -- the Bay Area's CBS News arm -- hasn't tweeted anything since yesterday either ... and that policy seems to apply to most, if not all, of CBS's stations across the country. We should note, it's still posting stories to its home pages. In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News Bay Area is pausing its activity on the social media site as we continue to monitor the platform.The reason this is a big deal -- assuming it carries on for an extended amount of time -- is because Twitter has become the go-to source for news ... not just for users, but for news organizations themselves.

CBS News refusing to tweet is a major statement, and if it catches on among other big publishers ... it could make Twitter even less relevant, sparking a true mass exodus.

That didn't last long 👀

Seeing that most people who watch CBS are over 60 and hardly use Twitter, not much of a loss there 🤷🏾‍♀️

No one care about the Communist Broadcast System CBS ( C-💩 )

Good! One less fake news organizations on this app.

Who?

There lose😂 elonmusk wins

What a Charlue Brown moment by you CBS, oh brother!

ripCBS

That is there right. If they don't want the click bait ad money they don't need to take it. I am sure Fox, NBC, ABC, AP, CNN and even you will be happy to take it. Some people may quit or join over Elons decision but none will quit over not seeing a CBS tweet.

the fake news are self-deporting.

I won’t be watching CBS

And just look, twitter is functioning just fine without them oh and they have now given the opportunity for other news networks to out shine them.

Who?

Should I piss down my leg tonight or tomorrow?

Who?

Lol...Bye Bye

No one cares. CBS is no longer a trusted voice for most Americans.

Good riddance. Toxic MSM’s have been full of 💩💩💩💩💩 for years.

Wonderful All they do is LIE FAKE NEWS

Who cares…

Hopefully NBCNews, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc follow suit. Make Twitter a safe space from propaganda! Thanks elonmusk

CBS still does news

Why?

No one cares

Won’t miss them

Thank you CBS! Try to convince MSNBC & CNN to do the same!

Good !!!

😂😂😂

marcellacomedy CBS also skews higher in age demos and seniors don’t use Twitter anyways they’re on Facebook still

🤣🤣🤣. Who cares

Oh no Twitter isn’t gonna survive.

😂

CBS Why? You're shooting yourself in the foot

Please 😂😂😂😂

It will be CBS loss.

This should really wake everyone up ☝🏿

LOL No one gaf about MSM anymore, so get with the program gramps.

Stop being crybabies!🙄 yall wanna tell EVERYONE what to do or you throw fits

They’ll be back. This is a test. This is only a test of the emergency broadcasting system.

They publish propaganda, not news. So it should actually improve the newsworthiness of Twitter.

Fine by me 🤣

OH NO NOT CBS 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Cuz twitter will fact check them

he is busy taking polls to notice TMZ

Cool.

Who cares 😴

I’m sure coming here less & less for reliable news unless it’s coming straight from the White House, not sure I trust him not to censor even that.

Lol

Nice leading headline...will you guys be next?

Oh no what a devastating loss 😂🤡🤡🤡🤡

Not like they report the truth anyways

Because the are afraid of the truth and the real news

Major media outlet I haven't watched them in years how major are they?ing

Since when has CBS or any main stream news media been about news. It's all been about propaganda for their beliefs and their hatred for conservatives.

🤡😂🤡

Why don’t you FO?

No one even watches the news of lies. Bye bye

Remember CBS news Twitter, NOT Twitter needs CBS 😂😂😂😂

Well when the news is using Twitter for their sources do we really even need them?

Nice, less fake news

It's getting harder and harder to spread the lies.

Twitter is news oursourcing…. We do mot need big companies really… they need us the consumers…

Do you think CBS will be missed? Nah

No Big Loss...

Do many people consider MSM a source of news anymore. I won't miss them and their bias bs.

🤣 8.8M followers & they don't get much attention. They won't be missed. Hopefully more will follow. These media businesses think people get news from only them in 2022. Can't remember the last time I watched normal media.

I don’t think the blow will be as devastating as they think.

The theatrics are great, “News” has been defined and spread very loosely over the last 2 decades. Social media has been the dumpster fire of destruction spreading like cancer since it’s conception. Now these organizations want to make a statement since elonmusk took over?

CBS is for the Democrats who cares ..

Follow them out, TMZ. Add another nail.

CBS will not be posting their LIES anymore? Good bye

See BS is a joke and no one cares legacy media is dead it’s buried in Florida with all you woke folk.

as if their news won't be on twitter via users. they're just laying off the twitter guy at CBS headquarters.

People will just follow individual journalist…see ya CBS 🤡

They just don't want to be censored & banned for stuff they post. We get it. We don't like tht either but difference was....our shit was actually true news. I'd be ok if all major stations just disappeared all together

cbs and the rest of corporate media is dead and only old people with old ideas tune into it.

Hahaha! CBS=pussies

🤣🤣🤣

Wonderful!

Living Rent Free

Oh no. What a loss, with their minimal engagement and them with links clicking off the twitter trying to drive revenue to their own sites. Ooohhh noooooooOOooOoOooOoo

CBS who? never heard of them

Twitter is the news outlet. It doesn’t need to rely to traditional news outlets. Ad opposed to CBS who no one is watching

“Devastating” 😂😂😂

Good riddance. Make Twitter Fun Again.

Exactly the opposite. I don’t pay attention to the news media in the democrats pocket

Bye cbs who cares

People getting their news from mainstream sources on twitter forced to rely on secondary sources, like minion memes and people ranting at the bus station

Bye bye CBS. I assure you. You won't be missed. Cheerio xx.

But they’ve got zero issues being on TikTok. CBS- Chinese Broadcasting Service

c'ya, ass-hats!

It's been hard to concentrate with the amount of gel elonmusk has been wearing lately

CBS leaving Twitter, as far as I am concerned, is no blow to Elon and Twitter. Who was on here from their staff anyways?

Bye ,Felecia Nobody wanted your bias fake news anyway.

CBS is like a place where everyone has a voice? No thanks… we prefer the echo chamber. We’ll tell you what to think.

This is exactly what Elon and the people want. Get traditional news sources and their fake agenda driven stories away from twitter. Finally CBS leads in something good.

Good riddance.

Only hurts cbs tbh. Lol ppl like just wanna play around and have fun on Twitter interacting with funny or cool posts. IDC about the news. It's usually opinion pieces that news pages post which I disagree with anyway.

I doubt it. The people dont trust the 'News' broadcasters anymore. Additionally there have been over 12 million votes on a poll to bring trump back or not in less than 24 hrs. Way more interesting than CBS. Twitter is more covenient and has perspective from all perspectives.

No it won’t

This is what grown-ups having a temper tantrum looks like

Good thing I NEVER watch CBS news NOR do I trust them. In fact, I trust people called “conspiracy theorists” (hate speech for critical thinkers) more than any “news” organization nowadays. Twitter will be just fine without the Gates/Soros funded media.

Course they are what better way to increase their profits for people to only be able to get info from standard media outlets

cbs is fake news, they will not be missed !

Just us fox

Hold up! Wait a minute! Stop the presses! You mean CBS news...as in THE CBS news bought and paid for largely by its BigPharma and insurance 'sponsors' who then muzzle their talking heads? Hmm. Well ya don't say!

Scat Rodent’s! You have been smelling up Twitter for way too long! Take your liberal a$$ & scat!! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀CBSNews NBCNews nypost washingtonpost DatelineNBC

How are they going to spread their disinformation?

What are you guys still doing here?

Yay! More winning! Less fakenews and more real news! Bring back Brighteon and NaturalNews! MikeAdams elonmusk

CBSNews Who cares about CBS News? It’s a failed news network and adds illegitimate news to Twitter. Yet they are worried about Twitter’s reputation-hilarious!

30ACTruth

MSM’s spew biased, conspiracy propaganda. Investigative journalism doesn’t exist in MSM anymore. They are tabloid reporters pushing their old school propaganda agendas. Bought & paid for by the highest bidder. Good riddance to the vermin! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 CBSNews NBCNews nypost

They don’t want to be fact checked. We all know they have no integrity

Oh no! But this is where I get my news - lots of times before The News posts the news.

This is great news!!! Hopefully more will follow. They know how they have been bad players in the media world. It’s all about manipulation for money & status! Elon knows rats 🐀 when he smells them! They have been real SMELLY too! Scat Vermin!! You are not wanted!! 🐀🐀🐀🐀

Lol

They never reported the news, just articles they thought would get clicks and money.

Hahaha cbsnews hasn’t been newsworthy in 15 years

They don’t want to be called out on their bullshit but who does?🤷🏽‍♂️

Bye CBS

It's only gonna cost the people leaving eventually because nobody on the Far Left is smart enough to create a new platform 😆 🤣 😂

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Matthew 16:26

I like elonmusk

Yeah, other places are not the same as Twitter,you can go

Why this matters: local stations tweet out emergency info on fires, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes etc. I go to my local reporters on the scene for breaking news. They get it quickly & from reporters on the ground & helicopters from above. It’s very important.

Wow TMZ, you still think all the 3 letter ding dongs is where twitter gets its news. Kinda sad.

Now if we can just get tmz to leave we will be set

Babies... So childish

Cbs news has no viewers. I didn't even know they were on Twitter along with the rest of america

EvocativePizza

They spew misinformation anyways, thanks Elon for weeding out the weak

Can all CBS affiliates do the same? I ask because the less Steven Colbert the better.

LOL

WTF does CBS have to do with news?

😂😂😂

CBS has like 6 viewers nightly…..so not sure how this hurts anyone but CBS

The hubris from MSM continues to amaze me.🤦‍♂️😂😂

good, companies who promote lies need to be shut down.

CBS NBC ABC out of touch, viewership down trust evaporated, only narcissists think you can't survive without them

What will we do without the fake liberal news?

Who cares?

They will be back

Why don’t need CBSNews to post left wing propaganda content anyway. Good riddance

TMZ sucks 😜

What is CBS News

who watches CBS. BYE

Twitter can be events in real time- CBSNews not so much. Plus no slants or narratives

Good this will slow down CBS biased news reporting.

TheeRougarou

Twitter IS the place for news. Just not FAKE news.

Like we’d miss y’all bull*%!*

What is CBS? Sounds like something old people watch fwiw

I guess CBS wants to be even less relevant than they are now 🤷‍♂️

Good. Get rid of fake news.

No it wouldn't. It'll be just one less programming station NOT tweeting on Twitter. STOP IT🤦🏽‍♂️ You people are too funny😂🤣😂🤣

Well Twitter was fun

f it's not truth' Then it's not news and never has been'

Great

Yea because they can’t spread their lies anymore.

That's fine' they know that there lies cant compete with our Truth' We are the news now' So what if Another one bites the dust' We got this' thats why there leaving' All of the news positions are being filled with new ppl that actually tell the news' I

CBS is mostly propaganda. Nobody will miss that garbage.

BS. CBSNews is not interested in a level playing field on a social media platform. elonmusk FreeSpeech

CBS always put pushing a left-wing narrative ahead of objective reporting, so of course they're going to have issues with a free speech platform that doesn't censor views opposed to theirs.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boo hoo good bye fake news outlets

YES no more bullshit trying to get us to see only what they want us to see

Greatness, can CNN please be next.

SO, no more FAKE news on Twitter? Sounds like Elon Musk is doing a great clean out

Once News Stations/ Reporters started delivering THEIR, PERSONAL opinions instead of just delivering the News, it was over for most

Man... elonmusk is already lessening the amount of disinformation on this platform. BravoElon

🤣😂 don't you mean propaganda?

Not for fake news🤓

More like a devastating blow for CBSNews

Stephen Colbert next 🙏

Hopefully NBC is next so that we don’t have to see that hideous Kat tenbarf again.

CBS 'News' a devastating blow to Twitter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No that wont do much.

No loss. Only thing I use Twitter for is weather and see people buried in 8 ft of snow. Or a cool tornado photo. Other than that this place Sux.

And nobody noticed.

America is more safe from MSM disinformation today than they were yesterday. This is a win for the world at large.

Rhodesiensical idk the future but he definitely killing this thing

Thank CBS... you have the insight on truth, wow I needed a good laugh. Elon will survive any and all descendants of life, liberty and the freedom of thoughts.

When real media leaves social media platforms, it just leaves a vacuum for more fake news stories and too many people fall for those bullshit stories. It just makes social media more dangerous.

Just depends if it's just one or the start if a trend

🤣🤣🤣 there really is a “the man”

who tf reads cbs tweets

They can CBS their way out.

Can’t help but feel when media started doing this you know he’s doing some thing right

Oh no. Only 5000 more news outlets left

CBS hasn’t been a news organization in years. They spew a left wing, chewed up version of the news they pick and choose.

Who the hell cares if CBS News leaves?

Do they confirm they are a fascist outlet.

I don't blame then. Now you don't even know which accounts are authentic and which are fakes . Anyone can buy a blue check mark and pretend to be someone else now.

It never was!

“Devastating blow”

Communist Bull Shit

The real reason is the ADL. CBSNews aka paramountco cc elonmusk Twitter kanyewest Good riddance.

It was never real news anyways. Lopsided coverage, good riddance!

I didnt notice

News is ok with censorship but not free speech. Maybe I'm in wrong place but I've never seen hate speech from the right on here but plenty of it on the left.

We’re interested in real news. Truth

I don’t think elonmusk gives a F. Didn’t know CBS was still a thing

✌️ and ♥️ ……

They dont want to be fact checked fairly.
