Rest in Peace, Chuck Norris. ✨

Second fave: When he was born, Chuck Norris drove his mother home from the hospital.

My fave Chuck Norris joke: Chuck doesn't flush the toilet, he scares the shit out of it.

RIP Chuck Norris, who just passed at age 86, and who fought Bruce Lee in one of the BEST movie fight scenes of all time, in "Way of the Dragon."

Wow, absolutely incredible!😍💖

“Employees affected will be notified end of day.” This is so cruel. On a Friday, too. The CBS chiefs taking after their cult leader, potus. I imagine the ones getting the axe wouldn’t bow down to the cult leader & spew his dishonest propaganda.

CBS News lays off 6% - less than had been speculated. CBS News Radio is killed off, to go off air May 22 - the home of Edward R. Murrow and in many ways the origin story of US broadcast news. Memo below from CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski

.@CBSNews layoffs are underway. Here's the note from editor in chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski to employees this AM:

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

Here's the full memo from CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss and CBS News president/executive editor Tom Cibrowski about today's layoffs: Good morning, Today we are reducing the size of our workforce, and employees who are affected will be notified by the end of the day. We recognize that this is a difficult time for those who will be leaving CBS News.  Because these aren't just names on a list.  They are talented, committed colleagues who have been critical to our success.  We'll treat them all with care and respect. It’s no secret that the news business is changing radically, and that we need to change along with it.  New audiences are burgeoning in new places, and we are pressing forward with ambitious plans to grow and invest so that we can be there for them.  That means some parts of our newsroom must get smaller to make room for the things we must build to remain competitive. But these are very hard choices and today is a difficult day. This is a tough message to receive at any time, and especially in the middle of an exceptionally intense news cycle.  This organization is working its heart out to deliver for our audience.  We're so grateful to all of you, and we thank you for handling this difficult news with compassion.
