Comedian Nikki Glaser mocked CBS News as the place for “BS news” in her monologue for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony Sunday night.
“And the award for ‘Most Editing’ goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see BS news,” Glaser said.
Over the past year, CBS has experienced several controversies and new ownership that led to new leadership, which have some critics accusing the network of losing its credibility.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused CBS of editing her “Face the Nation” interview in September. CBS News later announced that “Face the Nation” interviews would only be broadcast live or live-to-tape in response.

However, CBS News was previously accused by President Donald Trump of editing an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris to provide a better image of the Democratic candidate in the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Trump sued the network after accusing them of “election interference” in favor of Harris.
CBS’ parent company later agreed to a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump ahead of its merger with Skydance Media.
