The firing of Nestle's CEO over an undisclosed romantic relationship with a subordinate, the latest corporate chief to be ousted over an office romance, begs the question: are corporate alarm systems working? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/03/companies/coldplay-nestle-ceo-office-romance/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nestle #laurentfreixe #mcdonald039s #metoo #powerharassment #sexualharassment #bp #cbs

#CBS caved to #Trump—now he’s seeking punishments for #ABC and #NBC
Trump says ABC and NBC "give me 97% BAD STORIES," urges #FCC to revoke licenses.
Jon Brodkin – Aug 25, 2025
"Fresh off his thorough victory over CBS News, President Trump is taking aim at ABC and NBC.
" 'Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren't paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES,' Trump wrote on Truth Social last night. "They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ' #journalism' should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!'
"While Trump's many threats to revoke broadcaster licenses have never led to any actual license revocations, the CBS developments show how he can use the government to influence operations at news organizations. CBS owner #Paramount recently inked a $16 million settlement with Trump and then agreed to install a '#BiasMonitor' in order to gain Federal Communications Commission [#FCC] approval of an $8 billion merger with #Skydance. Now Trump is turning his attention to ABC and NBC."

Did you know, President & CEO of CBS, which just bribed potus by settling a case and canceled Stephen Colbert's show, is named, not making this up, George Cheeks?
Sure they were bullied as a kid, but as CEO, George Cheeks laying down for fascists makes me theoretically ('cause violence is not a good answer) want to clap those cheeks (metaphorically slap him).
Stop returning Paramount & subsidiaries' (like CBS) calls. They wither w/no one to work for them.

Do not watch, return their phone calls, pitch shows, sell to or work for Paramount, CBS or any of their subsidiaries and affiliates.
The shareholders will realize George and the rest of leadership’s fetish for fascism is bad business.](https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/114/875/699/133/163/916/original/89f9af808d337e80.png)

The capitulation of major U.S. institutions to Donald Trump is smartly observed in this astute column. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/07/stephen-colbert-cancelled-cbs-trump-paramount/

Paramount settles with Trump, and then cancels the Late Show.
If it walks like fascism, and talks like fascism, and shuts-up-opposing voices like facism…
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20n4q0q9zqo
What an incredibly dark time in America.

This is precisely why they want it silenced:
"The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes. It also said his late night show was the only one to gain viewers so far this year."
