It's important to remember that, in these arrangements, neither the government nor the owners of the media orgs care whether those put in charge of the media orgs are unethical, incompetent, or run them into the ground by losing all their audience. No one cares, as long as they get quiescence.
Wash Post, CBS News, next CNN?, etc are not money makers. The owners give the Trumpists what they want and get favorable treatment for their other businesses in exchange. Owners make money that way. The regime wants quiescence. No one in this exchange cares if the outlets have audience or profits.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Everybody needs to see this blatant price collusion, and how there’s been no accountability for it. I hope the other retailers bring suit.
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

This all possible by the election results. We could have prevented this. The leftists, their organizing leaders and podcasters and influencers knew that their actions would support this outcome but proceeded anyway. All to own the Democrats. All to own the libs.
Hundreds of underage girls married off and hundreds more children kidnapped as U.S. foreign aid cuts contribute to surge in violations against persecuted Rohingya children.
Trafficked, exploited, married off: Rohingya children’s lives crushed by foreign aid cuts
Severe foreign aid cuts imposed this year by U.S. President Donald Trump, along with funding reductions from other countries, shuttered thousands of schools and youth training centers in camps for Rohingya in Bangladesh and crippled child protection programs.

Even if Edtech was productive, our society would have to choose funneling money set aside for schools and children to private tech companies. The damaging of norms this implies alone is costly. To produce a society that truly respects education, both parties must view school funding as sacred.
There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom
