Corporate media wants fascism, folks. Been saying it for a while. They will lay out the red carpet for it and line it up with millions of dollars.

Last week: Everyone joking about Bari being on 60 Minutes. This week: Uh...
Fascism is way more profitable.
Why though Corporate owners?
We need a new snazzy term for this tech/VC version of authoritarianism. Fascism is still people in Na$i uniforms to most, not pantsuits and chinos.
Keep making something new, they can buy 😂
✔️ Yep. They couldn’t demonstrate it any better if they tried. They are, quite frankly, saboteurs of democracy. Supremely myopic, apparently. Greedy dolts. Partners, in this crime the GOP is committing against our country. #MSM
Excuse me, WHY does anyone think she has any credibility at all? She pulled a switcheroo just to get more attention. She has no beliefs whatsoever.
Das ist ein Bild, das sich immer wieder wiederholt. Wie lange noch, bis der Leopard seine Mahlzeit bekommt?
She's mates with Bill Maher isn't she?
They'll want it as long as they get their piece.
It seems so.
And the "South Park" creators -- those so-called politically independent creators -- just signed a billion-dollar deal with Paramount.
It’s outrageous that formerly niche anti intellectual cranks are the top leaders now
I have never seen Republicans this desperate to distract. The louder they scream about Hillary and Obama, the closer we are to the truth!
remember back in 2016 when then CBS CEO Les Moonves said during a conference as re the election: "..it may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS...sorry, it's a terrible thing to say, but, bring it on, Donald...keep going".....? ..i remember 1/ 2
..i kinda feel like most of the MSM feels that way these day about fascism: 't may not be good for America, but it's damn good for us...bring it on, keep going' ..fascism generates revenue for a media climate that runs on fear & loathing 2/ 2
Worth noting that Les Moonves is a sexual predator.
You’re right. Because too many of us still tune in.
Just another grifter
How is this particular idiot worth anything beyond a wet ball of yarn?
Corporate media=Vichy Press, Right-Wing propagandists.
I will fight Nazis to my last breath ✊🏼
😡
And thanks to companies like Sinclair and NexStar, right-wingers are even working to cram right-wing apologia into the mouths of our local anchors. Gotta love that curdling feeling in my stomach when NexStar's NewsNation has Chris Cuomo trying to bring Bill O'Reilly back into the limelight
the Cuomos are no daisies, no daises at all ...
Of all things, 'The Five Families' troubled me, I liked Chris's 2020 election coverage and was ignorant on Andrew. Their dad Mario's cited in the book denying the Mafia's existence, calls it anti-Italian bigotry—only rumors he had involvement, but he knew it was real, and that didn't sit right.
FT is doing some good reporting.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is she wearing a cross?
Corporations, not corporate owned media. There’s a difference. Journalists care about their work. CEOs legally have a fiduciary duty to put the interests of investors as their #1 priority. Nothing else.
The dems let fox make the corporations look a lot better than they were. They have no effective propaganda machine and the left media does them no favors either. Amy Goodwin did her damndest to help dubya win.
Pretty sure I won't be watching football in the fall.
Bingo…Louder for the folks in the back who still think corporate media is impartial.
Right-wing welfare.
Nauseating.
She’s evil.
You are 100% right. People get offended when you say this to them in person.
ick
Yes and also big business as well. It is easier money for them. Media is not there for journalism so should hardly surprise anyone that they seek to maximize profit
Bill Maher has been platforming this slob for the past two years. In case anyone cares.
Longer than that. They've been mates for ages.
In light of the recent NPR/PSB cuts, people should suck it up and cancel their streaming services. We’re paying them to lie to us.
Shun the Vichy Media. Shun them.
Pretty clear at this point.
I wouldn’t call David Ellison corporate media.
Bari is toxic.
💯
CBS making all the fascistic moves
CBS is circling the drain
Per Variety: Trump Makes Unconfirmed Claim Skydance Will Give Him $20 Million in ‘Advertising, PSAs or Similar Programming’ After Paramount Merger Goes Through - PSA's?? You mean propaganda?
He demands it.
The birth and growth of fascism in the 1920s was financed and supported by the great industrialists and landowners of the time, who got their hands on the information. The oligarchy always wants fascism.
vpn and pirate.
We’ve been seeing it ever since media’s been sanewashing Trumpy for the last decade.
Does anyone read it?
Can confirm they do. Family member who thinks it’s brilliant. ☹️
Because the divisive bullshit works, if we let it Take a look who controls the media & why they need to, to stay in power
Noise, noise, noise, just to prevent us from thinking about taxing the rich.

So much to do when we oust these chucklefucks: add "fix the media" to the growing list, e.g., re-enact a fairness doctrine, but stronger, develop (and enforce) ownership strictures to keep billionaires looking for favors away from any sort of news outlet. That's a start
There is no method to bring back the Fairness Doctrine and update it without violating the First Amendment.
This is the 21st century- if there is no method to accomplish what we need to do, we can create something new. Mankind can solve its problems, we have the ability but do we have the will?
“Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; …” Why do you think trashing that and allowing the government to regulate speech and the press is a good idea that will solve problems?
Okay, if you believe free speech is absolute- If I cause a stampede in a crowd that gets people killed by screaming FIRE! am I guilty of anything??? All I did was ‘speak’, but people panicked and someone died So, that’s OK by you?
Sure - let’s go to the most extreme example. Let’s look at the Aurora theater shooting: people yelling about an active shooter did not cause a panic - the actual active shooter caused the panic. He was charged with many crimes - causing a panic was not one of them. This does not mean he can’t be
sued civilly and held civilly responsible, but it wasn’t a crime. Now, are you claiming something said on TV or the internet is going to cause a panic?
But you said free speech! That’s all I did, what did I do in civil law- disturb the peace? But that can be speech also. And are you saying if it’s said on TV, that makes in different from free speech? I think your absolute free speech idea has some serious difficulties 😆
I’m sorry these concepts are so hard for you to grasp.
Exactly what ‘concept’ am I missing, Professor?? That absolute free speech is impossible in a civilized society? What point are you trying so desperately to assert?? Insulting my intelligence does Not convince me. Try logic this time, maybe?????
Unless you're talking about directly threatening an individual or a very small, specific group, the test is if the speech is "intended to and likely to incite *imminent* lawless action". Where "imminent" is defined to be basically "right now". 1/
Nothing you see on Fox News or whatever comes close to meeting that test. And, for that matter, very very little anywhere else meets that test either. 2/2
Seriously? The people shouting in that theater, are exhibiting free speech? And not trying to avoid getting shot by a madman? Please explain what free speech has to do with this?
You’re the one who brought up Schenck.
We have a First Amendment. Read it.
2/ any less a stricture on 1st Amendment rights than yelling fire in a crowded theater. Saying there is no method to fix the damage done by the likes of Fox and News Max is tantamount to obeying in advance. The effort needs be made.
Learn to thread your skeets. Yelling fire in a crowded theater is protected speech. The idea that it isn’t is dicta from a case about protesting the draft that was overruled 50+ years ago. Allowing Trump to regulate the press is obeying in advance. Protecting the Constitution is not.
You are very uneducated on this subject matter.
Willful distortion of the news, if not outright fabrication, should be subject to current FCC rules against broadcasting distortion of the news, however, haven't heard that this rule has been applied in a while. Similarly, why wouldn't willful dissemination of outright lies and distortions be 1/
What part of “Congress shall make no law …abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; …” do you think allows for a government ministry of truth?
You are very confused.
