The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover.
The state capture of network television is almost complete.

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar.
Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"

(5,426 posts)Many of the journalists from WaPo and NYT and CNN etc have gone to Substack. Many do both newsletters and vodcasts. This is a great opportunity to redefine what it means to consume news and who you consume it from.
An added benefit is causing these monster media companies to come to grips with the actual size of their audiences.
