CNN brass have been waiting to get federal approval of their problematic $111 billion merger with Paramount. As we’ve detailed exhaustively, the high debt load from the CBS/Paramount and Warner Brothers merges is going to result in mass layoffs, higher consumer prices, and sagging quality control at the resulting company. It’s what always happens. It’s […]

The Department of Justice has unconditionally approved the proposed Paramount Skydance Warner Bros. Discovery merger. The decision clears one of the largest remaining hurdles facing the estimated $111 billion transaction and moves the merger significantly closer to completion. If finalized, the deal would create an entertainment giant unlike anything currently operating in Hollywood, bringing…
📺🗡️ A Practical Guide to the CBS Boycott… When Paramount Global and CBS News agreed to pay Donald Trump roughly $16 million to settle a lawsuit that legal scholars across the ideological spectrum widely regarded as meritless, they did not merely close a legal dispute. They established a price. A sitting president sued a major … Continue reading How to Boycott CBS and Paramount/Skydance →
Imagine this scenario: one year from now. The eye that was once a household name on TV is no more. No more Late Show, no more Evening News, no more 60 Minutes, no more Price is Right. No more radio news with its famous chime. No more Wolf Blitzer, nor Richard Quest. No more James … Continue reading This is Ellison →
Scott Pelley just gave an interview to the NY Times that reveals two damning things at once: Bari Weiss tried to get him to falsely describe a shooting victim as driving toward the officer who killed her — and Pelley had already bent over backwards to make protesters look as bad as possible before she […]

Trump-allied billionaire Larry Ellison hired blogtroller Bari Weiss to turn what was left of CBS News into a right wing safe space for oligarchs and autocrats like Trump and Netanyahu. If the patient died during surgery, I don’t think Ellison would lose any sleep. But I do think Ellison hoped that Weiss could at least […]

Late-night television has spent the last year insisting that Stephen Colbert’s departure from The Late Show was a political story. CBS has spent the same period insisting it was a financial one. Now Jimmy Kimmel is openly challenging that explanation. In a lengthy interview with Vulture following Colbert’s final broadcast in May, the Jimmy Kimmel […]

Viewers tuning into CBS on the evening of May 22 may have been surprised. While Stephen Colbert’s exit from The Late Show was heavily discussed and promoted, its replacement features a very different format and aims for a very different tone. “No politics,” Byron Allen told CBS Mornings while describing his roundtable comedy late show. “You come, you laugh.”

Stephen Colbert was barely off the air before the former late-night host returned to television. This time, however, he did not appear on another major network. Instead, Colbert resurfaced on a public-access program in southeastern Michigan.

When right wing billionaire Larry Ellison (and his nepobaby kid David) hired trolling blogger Bari Weiss to run CBS News, Weiss arrived with the promise of “balanced, fact-based news,” “independent, principled journalism,” and a unique “entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision” that would completely modernize the network and reach the “everyday Americans” she claimed were being […]

What’s left of CBS News recently landed an interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s a bit of a doozy (transcript, video). There’s a part where Netanyahu tries to blame foreign social media bot farms for the rise in people disgusted by his government’s carpet bombing of children. There’s a part where he pretends […]
One man, one mogul, just proved old Hollywood models are dead. Leaner production, time slot buys, and sheer size are the things that still print money. All of these combine at the end of May.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly refusing to air a new episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the night of the final Stephen Colbert Late Show broadcast, turning what should be a straightforward business story into yet another political spectacle from late-night television.

For his final week as host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert has booked several fellow late-night hosts. When CBS announced the cancellation of the long-running program last July, many saw it as more than just another casualty of a fading television format — they viewed it as a direct rebuke of Colbert himself.

In late 2024, Donald Trump sued CBS for $10 billion claiming “election interference” because 60 Minutes had the audacity to (gasp) edit a Kamala Harris interview down for broadcast. The lawsuit was, on its face, ridiculous — editing interviews is protected First Amendment activity, the kind of editorial discretion that has been the entire premise […]
In den kommenden Tagen präsentieren die großen US-Broadcaster ihre Line-Ups für die neue Saison – doch CBS sorgt bereits jetzt für Schlagzeilen. Um Platz für frische Newcomer zu schaffen, geht der Sender einen ungewöhnlichen Weg: Statt etablierte Marken komplett abzusetzen, werden die Staffeln zahlreicher Erfolgsserien drastisch gekürzt.

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion all-cash takeover, per Deadline and Variety reporting filed this morning. The special meeting delivered a near-unanimous “yes” despite the open letter signed by more than 3,900 filmmakers, actors, and crew. Likely, all people who suspected their political posturing would limit jobs in the…
Talk about pathetic. CBS has announced that the now-Larry Ellison owned network will be hosting a lavish dinner this week praising Donald Trump and his (nonexistent) dedication to the First Amendment. The dinner will be hosted at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, which the State Department claimed in December 2025 was being renamed […]

All modern major U.S. media mergers follow the same trajectory. Executives pump out a bunch of pre-merger lies about job creation and innovation that are parroted by a lazy access press, followed by the rubber stamping by corrupt regulators, followed by oodles of price hikes, layoffs, and quality erosion caused by panicked efforts to pay […]
We’ve noted repeatedly how the U.S. authoritarian right is buying up all of our new and old media companies because they’re trying to mimic what Viktor Orban created in Hungary. Namely, a media where all the major outlets are owned by rich autocratic allies, who spew propaganda 24/7 while the government strangles real, independent journalism […]
