Paramount wants to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. If the potential acquisition goes through, the Ellisons would have a media empire. The Ellisons already answer to Trump with their CBS programming. We are moving dangerously close to government run media.

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

Congratulations on this award! CBS has lost me forever as a viewer. I will watch the Late Show until Colbert's last night then I will boycott CBS. I miss Elsbeth and Matlock already but w/the hiring of Bari Weiss and firing of Colbert, I'm done. Freedom and democracy. You have to make a stand.

I'm not watching anything on CBS other than NFL football. It's the Ellison's Trump approved network.

CBS is a "Trump approved" television network. The owners, the Ellisons, are big Trump supporters. They have hired an ombudsman to review complaints about news coverage. Some shows have their premieres tonight. I won't be watching. I won't watch a politically motivated network.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

CBS is now a Republican controlled channel. Other than Colbert, I won't be watching another show on this channel.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

How could it possibly be okay with the majority of Republicans to allow the horrific injustices happening to their fellow Americans? Why are they not speaking up? What is the reasoning behind it. Not every Republican is MAGA, and only a small percentage are billionaires.

Five years after the president tried to designate antifa as a terrorist organization, he’s giving it another try. The sequel will likely be worse.

This is a dangerous merger that shouldn't take place. If Warner Brothers Discovery sells to Paramount I hope they don't sell all their entities. It will be Republican controlled media.

Dan Rather Warns Paramount Buying Warner Bros. Discovery “Would Change CNN Forever”

We “have to be concerned about the consolidation of huge billionaires getting control of nearly all of the major news outlets,” the former 'CBS Evening News' anchor said.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
