ADVERTISEMENT CBS News on Friday announced a short-lived hiatus from Twitter, citing the supposed “uncertainty” surrounding Elon Musk’s management of the social media platform.
During Friday’s episode of “CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell,” the major news network confirmed the plan to “pause activity” on Twitter, reports the New York Post . In a segment surrounding ” Turmoil ” at Twitter, national correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti said, “Tonight, as questions mount over Twitter’s future, Elon Musk offers little reassurance he has a permanent plan, tweeting, ‘What should Twitter do next?'”
The report included a quote from a former Twitter engineer who Musk fired, who claimed that the workplace culture after the Tesla CEO took over the social media site last month was one “of fear and uncertainty, of anxiety.”
Seemingly in the middle of the segment, Vigliotti announced CBS’s decision to go on a Twitter hiatus.
“In light of the uncertainty around Twitter, and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform,” he said.
Once reports of the news made their way to Twitter, Musk asked “Who made this decision?”, followed up by “Oh forget it who cares.” Early Sunday morning, CBS News announced their return, not even a full 48 hours after they announced their departure.
“After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation,” they tweeted.
“I don’t get it.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
