More Cuts at CBS News

CBS News took another step in taking “news” out of their name.

The NY Post reports that CBS News quietly shut down its Tokyo bureau this week in another move to slash costs.

With China a big part of the Tokyo bureau’s coverage, it’s a stupid move. But CBS News has been making many stupid moves in the last couple of years.

The Post reports that CBS News London bureau chief Andrew Roy flew to Tokyo on Tuesday to fire the staff, ending the network presence in Japan after more than half a century.

This country needs journalism more than ever, and media companies continue to make cuts.
