Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros.
Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico.
Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

A student at a @bardcollege.bsky.social open mic had her microphone cut off after she started making jokes about President Leon Botstein’s friendship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“I don’t think they get just how furious people are,” said one Bard student, who described a recent Q&A with Botstein at the president's house — where he had previously hosted Epstein — as “a shitshow. ... By the end, people were shouting ‘resign.’” Sarah Trafton and Nora Mishanec report.
