Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

Asking this seriously: has Bari Weiss ever in her career reported out an investigative story?

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

People must grasp the idea of “media capture.”
It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account.
It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power.
In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

Even if that is Ingrid and not Pam in the top pic, both women are getting way too close to a married man, and in Pam's case, the President of the United States.
Melania should have been there in both pictures, but she isn't because she wants nothing to do with Jabba the Hut - unlike the other two.
