Skydance deal allows Trump’s FCC to “censor speech” and “silence dissent” on CBS
Good thing these networks profits don't rely on public opinion or anything. It would be a shame if people made a point to go out of their way to shit on "skydance" (which does kinda sound like a name a simpleton came up with to explain changes in the weather) at every opportunity.
Between dissent that doesn't rely on corporate sponsorship and people not bothering to watch CBS anymore anyway (bc why would you? I don't even mean that as joke. Literally what is left at CBS?) it could make some impact. I guess we'll see.
Getting people to boycott all of the things formerly owned by paramount is tougher bc they own so much shit, but they've also been going downhill for a while.
And yet again, we'll see if anyone with the wealth or authority to oppose this will even lift a finger.
And yet again, I'm predicting no, they won't.
Cowards and co-conspirators one and all.
And it's not like it matters anyway - even if someone did try to stand against them, the Trump regime would just keep appealing any decision against them until it got to the Supreme Court, and then those criminally corrupt and traitorous pieces of shit would give them what they wanted.
I want to see every journo programme lead with a
This broadcast has been edited for runtime length and content
And the show whatever the fuck the trumpcensor approves in this edited version. Instead of episode 1 and 2, call them 1** and 2**. Don't make new content for the parts censored; put up a CENSORED box.
If we have another election, and if the Republicans vacate the Whitehouse, and if the trumpcensor is fired, bring out the originals to be broadcast/available "in their original form and content" .
No, it's not gonna change the world, and the content may be stale by then. But it'll follow the letter of the agreement without sacrificing standards and integrity.
Well, they are already the home of Big Brother, so this is fitting.
Gomez further criticized the FCC for overstepping its authority in "intervening in employment matters reserved for other government entities with proper jurisdiction on these issues" by requiring Skydance commitments to not establish any DEI programs, which Carr derided as "invidious." But Gomez countered that "this agency is undermining legitimate efforts to combat discrimination and expand opportunity" by meddling in private companies' employment decisions.
That's Fascism!
You can argue that requiring equal opportunity programs were also government overreach, but even a cursory look at the history of those programs shows they were done to combat a deep history of racism combined with the statistics and figures proving discrepencies. Equal opportunity programs were publicly debated and approved to solve a problem. This is being done without review or evidence at the whim of the administration.
Lmao sad. I never watch CBS anyways unless it's sports. So that can just be on mute anyways.
The bread and circus has been muted!
We won!
In an open marketplace I'm afraid that is a competitive disadvantage Especially with a 1 in 3 approval rating.
Say one positive thing the FCC has ever done ever...go ahead...I'll wait.........
They used to limit the number of stations/outlets anyone could own. That limit ensured a multitude of 'voices' could be heard. That went away under Clinton. Before that they'd also enforced the more questionable Fairness Doctrine, but that died under Reagan.
The FCC in general, or this one that Mr Trump stacked with all kinds of cronies?
