CBS News Mocked for Mistaking King Charles With Monarch Who Died Over 300 Years Ago: Journalism by Ouija Board'
"In a social media post reporting that the King would cooperate with the police investigation into his brother Andrew's ties with the late serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, CBS News mistakenly referred to the monarch as King Charles II a distant ancestor of King Charles III who died more than 300 years ago in 1685. The mistake, which was slapped with a community note on X, quickly went viral, with social media users dunking on the suggestion that a 17th-century monarch had been reached for comment."
"CBS News is a wreck, it's just gone! protested former late-night host David Letterman last month, claiming the organization had been trampled on, p*ssed on, and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over. Weiss's CBS News has also been criticized by pro-Trump commentators Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. She's an idiot, said Carlson during a rant about Weiss, describing her as the single least creative human being and the single most robotic."
CBS News mistakenly labeled King Charles III as King Charles II in a social media post about cooperation with a police probe into Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The error was flagged with a community note on X and quickly went viral, prompting widespread ridicule. King Charles III's name appeared correctly in the article, but the social post remained uncorrected for more than 20 hours. The incident intensified criticism of CBS News after its acquisition by David Ellison and the appointment of Bari Weiss, drawing rebukes from commentators across the political spectrum.
