CBS, soon to be owned by Larry Ellison and family, is wasting no time turning into just another right-wing media company.

Paying Trump's extortion, trial-ballooning a "Free Press" buyout, canceling Colbert (and soon Stewart?) -- there's nothing mysterious in this pattern.

@dangillmor Let's not forget the Jon Stewart vs. Apple incident from a couple of years ago. Where he left because Apple wanted control of the show's content.

I bet that if today Stewart said something on Apple TV against Trump, something that Trump and MAGA supporter Tim Cook didn't like, his show would be cancelled too.

@dangillmor And defunding public broadcasting so there are fewer other avenues for information.

I hope Colbert is going to do a Indy show that will get more eyeballs than TV.

Surprised Nazis aren't making an overtime grab for #Youtube, beyond fiddling with the Nazi promoting algo.

Felon Muscovite was making noises at #Wikipedia so it's only a matter of time before all mainstream, high profile portals are captured by the fascist #AtlasNetwork
