1. CBS sells itself to Trump's billionaire allies for $8 billion. 2. Trump manages to exort CBS for $16 million just for fun, leveraging some fake investigations at the FCC. 3. CBS fuses with Bari Weiss' bullshit machine to create another massive new right wing propaganda outlet. Easy peasy.

To be clear Larry Ellison, a billionaire Trump donor who believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, used his own money to buy CBS and install his son as the boss. They'll then convert CBS into another right wing propaganda mill like Fox News. It's not really subtle!

meanwhile you have Schumer over here trying to leverage the Epstein scandal to "pressure" the FCC to drop a fake investigation into CBS (which would have been dropped anyway because it no longer serves its function of bullying CBS). With no mention of what Republicans are actually doing.

very very few Dems are competently able to message what the Republicans are doing to U.S. journalism, the media, and informed consensus. It's very very bad and the hour is getting very very late.

it is not that they can't. it is that they won't.
