Welch condemned CBS for focusing on Erika Kirk amid urgent national issues like economic hardship adn inflation, accusing Weiss of turning CBS News into a propaganda outlet. She urged progressives to withdraw financial support and pressure advertisers to hold CBS accountable. The piece also references ABC&#8217;s suspension of Jimmy kimmel after his comments on charlie Kirk, noting broadcasters Nexstar and Sinclair initially dropped but later resumed airing Kimmel&#8217;s show. Welch has a controversial history, having praised a protester celebrating Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-drops-latest-mayorkas-impeachment-resolution\/\" title=\"MTG introduces new Mayorkas impeachment resolution\">making inflammatory remarks<\/a> about White House official Stephen Miller.

Welch claimed Weiss was turning CBS News into a &ldquo;propaganda channel.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Okay. So during this Bari Weiss CBS takeover and her first town hall is to roll out Erica Kirk. Mind you, we have so many problems in our country right now. You have a massive financial, uh, economic burdens for so many working-class Americans,&rdquo; Welch said. &ldquo;You have inflation out the wazoo, health care, all of these things. and she is bringing out Erika Kirk and it&rsquo;s all they&rsquo;ve covered for a week straight at CBS News.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And listen up, listener, we have agency and we have autonomy,&rdquo; Welch continued. &ldquo;Everybody needs to boycott CBS News.

They cannot do it without our money. They cannot do it if we apply pressure to those advertisers. All of these fascists and all of these oligarchs think they control us and it&rsquo;s our turn to remind them that we control them. Without our money, you&rsquo;re nothing. Absolutely nothing.
