I feel like it should be a bigger deal that the Trump administration clearly approved the Ellison takeover of WB/Discovery in part so he could manipulate the news and push CNN (more) to the right.

TAPPER: I know you don't want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime bc I do have a lot of other questions

TRUMP: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path

T: I'm on a normal path right here, sir

TRUMP: Good. You are.

1. The corporate media does not critically report on corporate media consolidation/control.

Fight Club rules #1 and #2.

2. Yet another Trump/MAGA

takeover (as in perversion) of a corporate news and entertainment entity.

Which, again, is why we should value, no, treasure those left-leaning news and information entities that HAVEN'T fallen sway to maga autocracy.
