Before the second Trump era, it would’ve been seen as a ridiculous violation of the First Amendment to have some kind of monitor making sure the media was being nice to the president.
No. No, it is ridiculous. Don’t pretend it’s fine.
I hope Matt Stone and Trey Parker create no end of shit for Paramount/CBS.
RIP America.
With the multi-billion-dollar deal they just signed, Paramount loses no matter what.
I love it.
Yes, those billions of dollars are sure to cause untold sadness among the shareholders.
I'm referring to the deal Trey an Matt just signed. Firing them will cost billions.
They won't fire them. Trump will just ignore any satire that they throw his... lol, no, he won't. I don;t know how this will go. That's a lot to write off by firing. This could get ugly and go beyond just political and business dealings. "Will someone rid me of these cartoon guys?"
They signed a streaming deal. Cancelling the show order would have no impact on that deal whatsoever.
Which means they get the money but Paramount gets no show to profit from
Yes, Paramount would get no new episodes to profit from, but they would still have the entire backcatalogue to profit from until the timeframe for this deal ends
Part of the deal included 50 new episodes.
The party of small government, folks.
Sure sounds like free speech.
Free speech...with conditions.
Speech will continue to be free as long as you are saying the right things.
(All other speech will be heavily fined)
Stop oppressing media babysitters!!1!
“They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.
So sick of these assholes for whom "fact-based reporting" means "lies that promote fascism" and "fake news" means "true reporting."
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
— George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
CBS was already pretty terrible about giving both sides airtime and attacking both sides equally... even when the evidence was clear that one side was in the wrong or there was additional context left untold. And it has almost always benefited the right when they do that.
So I actually agree. They should go to fact-based reporting. But I'm guessing my idea of fact-based reporting is different from theirs.
A "censor" if you will...
More like a political commissar...
“Zampolit”, perhaps?
This is the word.
Welp, guess political commissars are back.
So sad that the oval office is occupied by such a small, weak man.
I will never watch or support CBS ever again.
Or paramount
So what government offices aren't being weaponized at this point and where are all the small/no interference republicans at?
Got it. Can't offend Glorious Leader. Nazi simps.
This is a very Chinese move
Does Fox get a babysitter as well to make sure they don't get too pro Trump? Yeaaaaaah........
I want them to start publishing the exact same hyperbolic stories they do in North Korea about the Kim family. I want to see a "Trump Family Never Poops" headline.
Ah yes, straight out of the dictatorship handbook ...
Everybody look at Russian media ... then North Korean television.
Now look back towards the newly implemented oversight on the American broadcast stations.
Do they have a red phone with a direct line to the party office?
Nose so far up trumps fat brown ass.
They should just fire all the news anchors and replace them with one pro-anchor who knows exactly what she's doing.
In communist Russia these people were called KGB Political Officers.
Let's normalize calling them MAGAzi Political Officers.
In the image it seems as if he is trying to ensure that the party line isn’t merely choking him, but maybe rewarding his fetishes.
