Der US-Präsident, der Medien auf zig Milliarden klagt, zusperren will, als „Volksfeinde“ denunziert und Journalistinnen als „Schweinchen“ beschimpft, geht mit Sanktionen gegen den „globalen Zensur-industriellen Komplex“ (aka EU) vor.
Es ist nur noch irre.

When media policy meets military: Is Palantir a Swiss military technology company?

Great piece by @republik.ch, financially supported by @journafonds.bsky.social and globally distributed by Swissinfo, the SRG's international offer that government plans to defund.

Why Palantir is becoming a risky bet for Switzerland

Zurich serves as a hub for US tech company Palantir’s business relations. The Swiss foreign ministry now has the company in its sights, because of its controversial role in Gaza.

The dismantling of a once reputable news organization in real time.

CBS under Bari Weiss is bowing to Trump.

Screenshot of the beginning of an email on a white background addressed to “News Team,”. The email apologizes for not reaching out earlier and states that the writer learned Bari Weiss spiked the story “INSIDE CECOT,” which was supposed to air that night. It says the story was screened five times and cleared by CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices, calls it factually correct, and argues that pulling it is a political rather than editorial decision.

Screenshot of the middle portion of the email. It states that requests for responses or interviews were made to DHS, the White House, and the State Department, and that government silence should not function as a veto. It warns that allowing refusal to participate to spike stories gives the government a “kill switch” over reporting and would turn 60 Minutes from an investigative program into a “stenographer for the state.”

Screenshot of the concluding portion of the email. It emphasizes a moral and professional obligation to sources who risked their lives, references CBS spiking the Jeffrey Wigand interview and the damage to credibility, and warns that failing to air the story after promoting it will be seen as corporate censorship. The email ends by stating concern for the future of the broadcast and is signed “Sharyn.”

Das hat jetzt nichts damit zu tun, dass der Initiativtext ein Onlineangebot ausschliesst.

Aber gut: Sportrechte machen 3% der Ausgaben aus. Mir der Initiative würde das Budget aber halbiert.

Manuel Puppis @manuelpuppis.ch · 12d

Ein bisher kaum beachteter Aspekt der schädlichen #Halbierungsiniatitive: ein Onlineangebot über die Bereitstellung existierender Radio- und TV-Sendungen hinaus wäre der #SRG nicht mehr erlaubt (zumindest nicht finanziert aus der Medienabgabe).
