    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.

      Speech will continue to be free as long as you are saying the right things.

      (All other speech will be heavily fined)

    “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.”

      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.

    Ah yes, straight out of the dictatorship handbook …

    Everybody look at Russian media … then North Korean television.
    Now look back towards the newly implemented oversight on the American broadcast stations.
