Most of all, they’re on the wrong side of the most important constituency — the audience, who will reject this antiquated approach to media. Of this, I have zero doubt. Consumers are a lot smarter than you think & reject shitty content and performative nonsense like the Erika Kirk embarrassment.

Don’t be so sure Nepo Mogul and Big Daddy & their hackish minions will win this. Their craven and sloppy and really incompetent stylings here are devastating in ways that will eventually become clear. They just suck at every bit of this and explicitly look like the pathetic power grabbers they are.

The U.S. strikes against the Islamic State in Nigeria followed President Trump’s threat to take military action to protect Christians from attacks by Islamic militants. Trump did not specify which attacks he was referring to, nor did he cite evidence for the claim that Christians are being targeted.
What to Know About U.S. Military Action in Nigeria
Before the strikes on Thursday, President Trump said he would halt all aid and go in “guns-a-blazing” to target militants.

If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.
The pandemic.
The strike.
The sale of Fox.

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.
