ViacomCBS funds effort against Newsom recall

This is yet another reason why we need to reverse the Citizens United ruling and forbid corporations from funding political campaigns.

The pandemic has proven what an incompetent clown California Gov. Gavin Newsom is. Even many of his former supporters won't back him now. But the campaign against his recall has received $40,000 from Paramount Pictures. A Paramount spokesperson said the contribution actually came from Paramount's parent company, ViacomCBS.

A media company that has a major news operation is donating to a political campaign? That's a red flag right there.

For CBS being so Republican for such a long time before the pandemic, they manage to pick the very worst Democrats to support.

The company also gave $5,000 to the California Democratic Party - which as far as I'm concerned is equivalent to the Republicans. The Democrats are controlled opposition.

Though Newsom whines that the effort against him is a "Republican recall", let me tell you something: It isn't. I support it too.
