My totally speculative theory on CBS is that when the WH saw the story, someone called an Ellison, who called Bari Weiss in a panic over the Warner Bros. bid, ordered her to kill it
Only a non-journalist (Ellison) would be too dumb not to understand killing the story just made things 100X worse

Chancellor Merz is right: Europe can no longer depend on America.
But he's wrong to say that America is pursuing its own interests.
Trump is pursuing his deranged and corrupt interests, not ours.
