a Democratic FCC commissioner: “Let’s be clear,” she wrote. “This is a retaliatory move by the government against broadcasters whose content or coverage is perceived to be unfavorable. It is designed to instill fear in broadcast stations and influence a network’s editorial decisions.”
Legacy media has bent the knee and due to all the lawsuits the president has filed against them, he now owns them. They will comply because Disney set a really bad precedent with their $15M “donation”.
A question I've always had. If the Nazi's of Germany modeled much of their policies and actions by studying America's own laws and history, then who were the first Nazis. Maybe "they" who are not "we", have been Nazi's all along.
Well yes, that’s how the US was “founded”, on the genocide of native peoples and chattel slavery of African people, Japanese internment camps, no women’s rights. We have always been the baddies
And my ancestors and decedents know this very well. Yet we are seen as the illegal immigrants, by the "First Illegal Immigrants" that came to these lands and illegally stayed when they were never given permission to do so by the first nation.
Of course.
Trump gets money, Paramount gets money, Paramount shareholders get money.
The American people get fucked over again as democracy continues its slow, painful death.
Well, what else is new in his pursuit to try to prove he's so perfect he can turn water into wine when we all saw and can still see Trump's as corrupt as fvck and as dumb as fvck in plain English!
Joy-Ann, I've been saying the same thing since he decided to run again. Don't believe for one minute that he's NOT dismantling the US government, grooming it for a takeover!
CALIFORNIA!!!! Please secede the union before it’s too late. Other states should do the same. Don’t fucking sit on your hands. Citizens of America!!! Change your voter registrations to “unaffiliated!” Soon.
And what will NBC/MSNBC DO to be any different? While we appreciate your and others' nightly basic cable clarion calls, the signal strength doesn't achieve the reach needed. And the newsroom culture needs a strip-down/rebuild with amplification: more adversarial journalism, less stenography!
My heart is racing and I feel like throwing up. This is not my country. I have hate for Trump voters and I can’t live with my fellow human beings with that much anger. When is someone going to stand up and fight? Is this what MAGA voters wanted? We elected the class bully to run the country.
The key part of this article isnt the tape its CBS’s parent company, Paramount,willing to settle fotus' $10 Billion lawsuit because it could help pave the way for the F.C.C. to approve Paramount’s planned multibillion-dollar merger with another company. IE more money in fotus's pocket.
Fox "News" has done nothing for years but hack up Trump's words and stuck them back together. They stopped carrying him live at rallies so they could run them once they were cleaned up. And of course, they lied about Biden & Harris & Democrats, defaming them. Where's THAT lawsuit?
I gotta tell you that the more these media networks and publications fall to their knees to suck cheeto käk, the more books I read, and the more educated i become. #CBS I am no longer tuning in. Fuck you, facsist sympathizers.
No one gets a second chance from me anymore.
Musk’s $288 billion was not a donation. It was a purchase price. Musk purchased access to what he is now now accessing. No official clearance and he is now the only one in charge of the United States treasury.
I have seriously thought the goofball would basically take the country to join BRICS eventually, all his friends are there. Banana Republic, next stop.
@60minutes.bsky.social, it is time to leave CBS. Let them have their mergers of companies no one wants to watch. @gatesfoundation.bsky.social, @mcuban.bsky.social, and anyone else with money set up a site for alternative media. We use YouTube but the gutless Google owns it. Just host not control.
And the only difference is that Russians have good vodka and we had a cherished democratic tradition before Trump said he would make us "great". How do you make us great by walking away from EVERYTHING that made America a beacon of hope for the world? Democracy. Freedom. Rule of Law.
😡 I wish they would stop bending the knee!! So frustrating and gross!!
Joy, I worry about MSNBC. I hope you, Ari, Chris, Jen P, Rachel & Lawrence stay true to yourselves and to us who depend on you all to cover the REAL truth. Thank you for all you do! 🙏🏼
He's such a cry baby! He complains when he loses and complains when he wins.. What does he expect to find in the transcripts!He's still looking for Hilliary's emails!!
Lawd make him go away!!
😡😡😡😡😡
We should all sue Fox News for portraying a false representation of the felon and duping their viewers into thinking this clown was a viable candidate!!
Thanks for the gift article, Joy.
If CBS kisses the ring and settles with the Toddler-in-chief, I'll be scratching another news outlet off of my viewing list.
Serious, what does it matter what their conversation was? Fix gave Donald questions before debate. Now Donald is sabotaging our country and Elon is trying to take over our financial institution.
I worry for you, @joyannreid.bsky.social , @maddow.msnbc.com & @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com. You all tell the truth & give such great information about what is happening, and I’m worried they will come for you all next 😞.
I would also like to point you to Redstone’s Paramount Plus being the propaganda home of the oil industry. The show Landman frequents in anti-renewable, propaganda meant to cause skepticism of global warming and any effort to stop it. Redstone is MAGA.
He tried this the first term too. But there were people who were stopping him from going through the worst parts of it. We can hate them for being republican scum but they did serve as a barrier. Not this time. Those people are gone. This time all will do as he says or he will fire them.
So, the media is going to sell out their (and everyone else’s) 1st Amendment rights for a merger? This is why monopolies must be stopped. They will owe Trump and he will come calling…
Yeah, what they should do is finally release the water sports video. They have of him and let him dispute his little golf club with his face. Attached show him for the filth he is don’t bend the knee.
That's why they target new groups as they go along when they've "won" against them. It won't end, because hating others is the distraction from being robbed, and that's because of a sickness they own entirely.
Well it's not just "these" people because you are ALL going to face it. God help you 🇨🇦 I'll be fighting my own battles as of tomorrow I leave y'all to fight your own after trying to WARN Americans since 2017 when you ceased to be a full democracy. READ this yesterday by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social
Hitler realized his ascension to power required the use of the Weimar Republic's parliamentary system (founded on democratic principles), he never intended for the continuation of democratic governance once in control. Hitler proclaimed that he would destroy democracy with the weapons of democracy.
“We” my ass. I’f that’s what you want to put out in the atmosphere for yourself, so be it. Don’t include the rest of us in that mess. Believe it or not WORDS MATTER
Why doesn't Fox angertainment have to turn over,or broadcast the unedited townhall Q&A forum with undecided women voters, and $Trump that was conducted right before election?
Seriously, is anyone surprised that CBS executives rolled over,and showed their soft underbelly to $Trump's maga Oligarch Billionaire party? The corporate owned media is owned by $Trump now.
I don't understand how these news orgs are being sued when other news orgs and candidates themselves lie and lie and lie and distort reality and lie about Democrats, the state of the economy, crime, nation, world and everything else...

CBS. Compelled by what law? Apparently laws no longer exist by the current administration’s standards.
Grow a pair.
Tell him off!!!
✅ Gained power: Appointed Chancellor of Germany (1/30/33).
✅ Created a crisis: The Reichstag Fire (2/27/33) gave an excuse to attack opposition. 1/4
✅ Weakened opposition via elections – Nazis gained power in the March 5 elections, but still lacked a majority. 2/4
✅ Suppressed rivals – Arrested communists, socialists, and critics.
✅ Took over media – Censored newspapers & seized radio control. 3/4
By the end of March 1933, Germany was no longer a democracy. The dictatorship was legally in place.
History shows how fast democracy can fall. Stay aware. 🛑 4/4
Shame on CBS
Appeasement.
Surrender.
So much disappointment as bulwark after bulwark fails us.
Hoping the bullies will leave them alone while they terrorize others.
At the same time, he will hide the Fox "News" interview notes.
Fuck you, Donald. Eat shit and choke on it.
The Beatles.
No one gets a second chance from me anymore.
It’s that fucking simple.
WTAF!??!
WHY? WHY? WHY?
How does this stuff not get tossed right out of the court. He abuses the system. Is there anyone more litigious than Trump?
Lesson 1: Do not Obey in Advance.
They are kneeling at his feet. Will they wash them next?
And that's how Hitler was able to take over every aspect of the German government in 53 days.
Gee, that worked out so well for the German people, didn't it?
Joy, I worry about MSNBC. I hope you, Ari, Chris, Jen P, Rachel & Lawrence stay true to yourselves and to us who depend on you all to cover the REAL truth. Thank you for all you do! 🙏🏼

We are experiencing the fall of our nation.
U.S. vs FNC has a nice ring to it.
If CBS kisses the ring and settles with the Toddler-in-chief, I'll be scratching another news outlet off of my viewing list.
Laws prohibit such things.
CBS appears now to be willing to settle.
What exactly is the problem here?
What would somebody learn from the transcript? Did she say something wrong?
Nations that fall between first and third world countries in terms of their development status and economic indicators.
We are in trouble!.
If Trump is going to prosecute Kamala Harris for anything she said, then they better start with the LYING shit stain currently in office.
Why aren't we suing everyone?
Where is the fight?
You KNOW Trump’s cult will alter what’s in it. They will claim it’s damning and refuse to release the original.
They’ll say “It’s bad, we’re suing. Trust us, you don’t need to see it”
Don’t hand it over
