Before the second Trump era, it would’ve been seen as a ridiculous violation of the First Amendment to have some kind of monitor making sure the media was being nice to the president.

No. No, it is ridiculous. Don’t pretend it’s fine.

I hope Matt Stone and Trey Parker create no end of shit for Paramount/CBS.

RIP America.

    With the multi-billion-dollar deal they just signed, Paramount loses no matter what.

    I love it.

    I'm referring to the deal Trey an Matt just signed. Firing them will cost billions.

    They won't fire them. Trump will just ignore any satire that they throw his... lol, no, he won't. I don;t know how this will go. That's a lot to write off by firing. This could get ugly and go beyond just political and business dealings. "Will someone rid me of these cartoon guys?"

    They signed a streaming deal. Cancelling the show order would have no impact on that deal whatsoever.

    “They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.

    So sick of these assholes for whom "fact-based reporting" means "lies that promote fascism" and "fake news" means "true reporting."

    CBS was already pretty terrible about giving both sides airtime and attacking both sides equally... even when the evidence was clear that one side was in the wrong or there was additional context left untold. And it has almost always benefited the right when they do that.

    So I actually agree. They should go to fact-based reporting. But I'm guessing my idea of fact-based reporting is different from theirs.

    What is crazy to me are the lengths that Trump is willing to go to distract from his Epstein debacle. Also, maybe before agreeing to go on South Park Trump should've familiarized himself with their type of show.

    Yes, it's the liberals fault! Why aren't they stopping the people who have power over every part of our government! I realize the media doesn't talk about when they do protest, but that's no excuse! Why aren't there more protests, more often and bring guns! /s

    I guess the republicans could stop them at any point in this process, but they don't. You know, cuz it's a fucking job he can be fired from.

    Dude, you know I love ya man, but there's a reason most of us are here instead of the bad place. This is one of the least suppressed social media outlets, and it still has its issues with who controls the front page of all. The only reason the "No Kings" protest was covered was because millions showed up and their readers were probably in the crowd. It has to get to millions to cover it.

    I’m frustrated that so many people sat around and didn’t vote and now that we have a chance to hammer on the outrage constantly so people are angry and motivated to make a change we’re not.

    The epstein thing is making cracks in his base. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if you look over at conservative in the bad place, they seem to be turning a little. Being mad at what's already been done is useless.

    I also think you're not realizing how much the media is behind trump. I don't know if it's so they don't get sued, blackmailed or what, but it's definitely happening. If you go through the media like I do every day, it's blatantly obvious that the headline writers are on his side. Most people only read the headlines and they know that. The articles themselves are mostly good, but even ones that I put in the top 3 will *sometimes not explain everything. You have to read 4 or 5 articles to get the full story and most people don't have time for that shit.

    Edit: Actually I do have a clue as to why the media is on trump's side, he cuts their taxes and mostly makes them a shit ton of money. I put together this list of all of the media owners before the last election, and every single one is either owned by a billionaire or has corporations on their board of directors. https://sh.itjust.works/post/20890256

    People day that about every story coming out of the Trump admin. And it's true, every one of these stories would be a huge scandal in normal times

    The thing is America is now an autocratic country. Opposing the oligarchs, especially Trump, now leads to significant personal consequences

    This is all setup. Silencing dissenting news doesn't immediately do anything. It just let's them do terrible things more easily in the future

    Once it gets real ugly, I'll be leaving. I voted against and protested against this stuff my whole life. It didn't work. Until it gets to that point though, I make way more here than elsewhere. Might as well bank money while I can

    don't think of that starting point as being January 20, 2025, think of it being in 2015 when djt announced his candidacy. fascism, like bolshevism, neoliberalism, anarchocapitalism, enlightened centrism, and anarchism is a street religion.

    sigh

    The sound of jackboots marching in lockstep is something people with an ear for them could hear in the '90s already. Trump is an expression of American culture rot—a symptom—not the cause.

    The cause of the USA's decline dates a lot further back than 2015. It dates back to the Southern Strategy that began when I was only beginning to get out of diapers. And the blame falls squarely on the architects of it, as well as those who sleep-walked through the subsequent decades of obvious rising fascism.

    Sorry mod deleted my comment. I think they misunderstood.

    I was asking what year did this “Southern Strategy” begin? (You mentioned it was when you were in diapers, so I was jokingly playing along with that. But not knowing how old you are, that doesn’t give me a frame of reference.)

    I was going to say it started with the Tea Party movement in the 2000s. The Republican party has been regressive for a long time but the tea party represented a firm shift toward populism.

    Announcer: In the latest news, China has placed one of its television networks under stricter government control, setting up a Party official to monitor its broadcasts for an anti-gove...

    Announcer: (to the off-screen voice) What? The USA? CBS? FCC?

    (Continued whispering from off-camera.)

    Announcer: (to camera) In these glorious United States of America, the government has decided that the collection of biased traitors at CBS will be monitored by a special office of the FCC to ensure they do not report negatively about our Great Leader.
