1. CBS sells itself to Trump's billionaire allies for $8 billion. 2. Trump manages to exort CBS for $16 million just for fun, leveraging some fake investigations at the FCC. 3. CBS fuses with Bari Weiss' bullshit machine to create another massive new right wing propaganda outlet. Easy peasy.

nypost.comSkydance reportedly in talks to buy Bari Weiss’ The Free Press — is CBS News role in her future?Sources speculate that Weiss could play a major role in reshaping CBS News, which has been plagued by criticism of a left-wing bias.

To be clear Larry Ellison, a billionaire Trump donor who believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, used his own money to buy CBS and install his son as the boss. They'll then convert CBS into another right wing propaganda mill like Fox News. It's not really subtle!
