Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

ABC network is owned by Disney Entertainment. I cancelled my Disney subscription and when it asks why - I wrote 'For pulling Jimmy Kimmel, bring him back to ABC and I'll be back.' If you have Disney and/or Hulu please consider doing the same.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,”

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Programming kids with lies is not education. Don't let PragerU slither its way into your school district.
Prager U is not educational. Pushing ideas like climate change is God’s will and radical Islam has more in common with woke liberalism than Christian Nationalism are why they have know place in schools. Texas and Fla want them to replace Public Broadcasting.

PragerU is a conservative video giant. Here's why it's trying to get into schools
Despite the suggestive sound of its name, PragerU is a content creator, not a university. Its short, well-produced videos appeal to college students and young people. And it has big plans to grow.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
