I cringe at your use of CBS instead,

I'm sorry you feel the need to "cringe" at the perfectly normal way of referring to the decision-makers and execs and owners of CBS. They are known collectively as "CBS" in this context. It makes zero sense for me to say "Is CBS trying to become FOX News* (not including the good reporters, and responsible editorialists, and other employees who have no say in the matter because we know that they have no power and they're just trying to make the best of their lives and keep their heads low while waiting for the axe to swing anyway). Most reasonable people will understand what I mean without having to split-hairs and nitpick for no good reason. Please.
