Jonathan V. Last's scathing indictment of corporate media in the US is perfect:
"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian."
Last focuses on CBS and Washington Post. I'd add New York Times to the list.

@dangillmor Disney's reputation is gone. It hasn't been about anything but dollars as long as I can remember. And #Iger has put himself in this position, as have #Disney , #ABC , & #CBS . None of them care about the people, just the dollars.
We finally see all of them for who they are instead of who they sell themselves as.

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
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.

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…

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)
