News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.
Reading the news. See media uncritically report Rubio and Hegseth statements. Song in my head: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCGD...

Finally watched David Byrnes intro song to the movie. Perfect trailer. (via Greg Mitchell at his fab newsletter Between Rock and a Hard Place) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzZf...
