CharlesDarwinElecting Republicans, especially shitheels like PEDOnald, turns everything to shit.
These guys are out to ruin everything before they are done. Comedy is on the chopping block, since they kiboshed Colbert.
Ironically, dickheads like Space Karen the free speech maximalist said they wanted to bring back comedy.
But, just like free speech, they really want to kill actual comedy as well as actual free speech.
jordanlundThe last time this happened, didn’t the FCC a) threaten Disney and b) at the same time try to go “Oh, no, no, no, we would NEVER do that…”

I’m not trying to be mean, but she looks eerily like Trump with her squinty eyes, pursed lips, and RBF. Like, A Catlyn Jenner version of Trump. Does nobody else get those vibes?
What was the joke.
We have a bunch of weak bitches leading this country.
Absolutely. Unfortunately all the leaders of the 3-5 media conglomerates controlling 90%+ of US legacy news and a sizeable chunk of new media are also weak bitches, ideologically aligned with the fascist kakistocracy, or both 😮💨
And yet, apparently, no-one is strong enough to stop them…
Corruption like in Russia.
The Dems need to do Sinclair Media the minute they are back in power.
Throw in clear channel next, or whatever whitewashed brand mane they are now, iHeart?
Really we should be filing anti trust against anyone consolidating that much media. Lena Khan never got a chance to finish her work, which is one of my greatest disappointments from Biden/Harris/Dems fucking up the 2024 election.
