I actually miss the days when the US administration in charge at least tried to appear not to be corrupt and malicious.

Let's say--hypothetically--that the U.S. President walked out into Times Square in broad daylight and shot a person to death unprovoked. Who would prosecute that crime?

If you can't (or won't) be prosecuted, why hide your crime?


New York State, due to the fact that murder is generally a state level charge and not a federal one. However, your broader point still stands.

Sorry, I did not notice that this article is from 2024.


This means Warner Bros., and thus CNN, will go to Paramount, owned by Trump supporter Larry Ellison. After Paramount's takeover of CBS, the broadcaster was already brought into line, and now CNN faces the same threat.

Rich assholes are all consolidating their media empires together so that they can control everything. It's all so tiresome every time some rich dipshit runs off to whine to the president so that they can get a more favorable deal on their billion dollar acquisition.

Netflix is happy to walk away with this since they get the money and will just buy it up in a fire sale when Larry Ellison is done gutting everything for his own personal satisfaction.
