The NYT story on the Colbert firing doesn't even mention the fact that CBS is now owned by the right wing billionaire Ellison family, a very close political ally to Trump. Kind of relevant, yeah?

It is not yet owned by them. That's kind of the point.

The Ellisons/Skydance people are 100% already dictating things! All that's left is a handful of feckless CBS execs basically being told what to do! There are no longer any functioning regulators who'll enforce pre-deal meddling. The new ownership is 100% relevant!
