Earlier today we told you about a CBS News tweet, headline and story that all sounded like they’d been written by the DNC. Here’s what the tweet looked like:
@CBSNews why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/c5g2VQzGIF

Glenn Greenwald is among those who have noticed that CBS News deleted the tweet and re-worded the headline:
CBS, after widespread criticism, changed the headline on its news article from "3 Ways Companies Can Help Fight Georgia's Restrictive New Voting Law" to one saying that it is *activists* who want this. They also deleted their tweet that contained the original headline. https://t.co/XTj5M6O1w5 pic.twitter.com/C2IhYCTztN

At that point CBS News might as well have left it up. The hackery was on full display for all to see and all they’ve done is spark a fresh round of people noticing the glaring bias.
Yeah lets maybe not let them forget this one. pic.twitter.com/XsA1Fd6Bwy

CBS has also changed the framing and wording of the headline to the story to state "activists say"
So maybe not a change at all I guess pic.twitter.com/YHaK0Sz3Bt

“Activists,” like the ones at CBS News apparently.
Imagine that! A little TOO close to letting the cat of the bag, I guess https://t.co/fCvXq0rf7P
