Why did Jeff Bezos appoint Rupert Murdoch's right-hand man to the top job at Washington Post? To do his bidding. And when he did journalists & readers rebelled.
This week, I write about a parallel revolt inside the Guardian & Observer & why press ownership matters

Cos like those hanging on in hubris during May 1945 in the Führerbunker, they want no Sanction or Limits to power
No Sanction or Limits to power didn't end well in that other bit of history. Did it

As others read garbage
It’s my go too
Your fearlessness and tireless quest for the truth are hugely admired and appreciated.
Like many others, I have written the Scott Trust and GMG strongly protesting to the sale of the Observer.
I support this week's strike and am flabbergasted it has come to this.

In the UK we have so many tory media owners, and Tory presenters, its undemocratic!
i think the *debit cards stop working* portion starts around early february-

This type of sanewashing is how we ended up in our current situation in the first place.
The only thing worse than no media coverage at all is propaganda masquerading as journalism.
As something to boast about like prizes on a shelf but have nothing else to do with them while the news carries out their function as centers of journalism.
try to keep up!
Not surprising, Jewish/South African connection to big money & political interference with UK Labours & Israeli lobbyist Gary Lubner.

This. ☝️
This week sees the start of the first strike at the org for half a century.
And we all know where that led.

More media needs to be owned by the staff.

Thank you to the Slovakian journalist. Oligarchic Capture is much more punchy and does what it says on the tin.
As well as here, on Substack, I've liked, commented, reposted, & subscribed. You've done your bit, carole @carolecadwalla.bsky.social (and it's a big bit), we should do our little bit too.

They ARE the wealthy establishment elite / deep state (enemy) that they keep harping on about and dopey uninformed inbred idiots fall for it. Every. Time.

Now the Guardian/Observer have spent years pushing anti-trans ideas mainstream which Trump weaponised. The sale isn’t going to change that, but perhaps it’s time something did?
Line noted:
the trickiest aspect of the sale is that the Observer doesn’t actually exist. There’s no corporate entity. What is even being 'sold’? (plus the ace quote from Tim Hill @tjrh.uk.)
And now we have the term:
oligarchic capture
Thanks, CC.
Thank you for writing this important piece, Carole @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.
