    I mean, I doubt they care. The plan is just to monopolize them anyway and turn them all into rank propaganda factotries.

    Good ol Ministry of Truth.

      The classic playbook for authoritarian takeover is to first start with symbols, like Trump’s name and face everywhere. Capture institutions by putting loyalists in high places and push out the critics. Get the judges in your pocket. Control the media.

      The program is going hard.

    It’s so crazy. CBS used to be my go to source for broadcast news and I used to associate it with high quality programming.

    After this whole fiasco I wouldn’t touch anything associated with them with a 50 foot pole.

      Killing any news source that values truth in any way is a goal. So, mission accomplished by the fascists.

    Surprising nobody. I wonder if doing favors to corruptly ensure the Paramount merger went through will pay off for the mega-corp. Probably.

    I guess if someone keeps paying for the spot they won’t care, because it will still be profit for them in their eyes.

      Not quite, it’s a guy who bought the slot for his own show, same guy you end up seeing super late at night with Comics Unleashed. He’s a weird dude.
