MEDIA MERGER AIMS TO CREATE RIGHT WING MEDIA ECOSYSTEM DOMINATED BY TRUMP

MEDIA MERGER AIMS TO CREATE RIGHT WING MEDIA ECOSYSTEM
DOMINATED BY TRUMP
The fight to control the media narrative in a fight
over ad media merger. As explained in Talking Point…the media conglomerate Warner Bros. Discovery, which
used to be called Time Warner and includes news division CNN, had
agreed to be acquired by Netflix. But, as the deal was moving forward,
Paramount Skydance launched a hostile takeover to get Warner Bros.
Discovery for itself. David Ellison, son of right-wing billionaire Larry Ellison,
who co-founded software giant Oracle, bought Paramount over the
summer and appears to be creating a right-wing media ecosystem
dominated by the Trumps. Part of the financing for his purchase of Warner
Bros. Discovery would come from the investment company of Trump son-
in-law Jared Kushner, as well as from Saudi and Qatari sovereign wealth
funds. Paramount told Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders they should
accept its offer because Trump would never allow the Netflix deal to
happen, and as Marshall notes, Trump appeared yesterday to agree with
that suggestion.The Paramount merger gave Ellison control of CBS, which
promptly turned rightward. At stake now is CNN,..., either to neuter it or
turn it into another version of Fox News....reported that Ellison told Trump
he would make “sweeping changes” to CNN... "Trump has told people
close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN as well as changes to
CNN programming.”

CHATGPT SAYS TRUMP PICKS FOR DOJ, FBI AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY DC ARE FACTUAL IMPOSSIBILITIES

CHATGPT SAYS TRUMP PICKS FOR DOJ, FBI
AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY DC ARE FACTUAL IMPOSSIBILITIES
When G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers asked ChatGPT to fact-
check an article for him yesterday, the chatbot couldn't get its head
around modern America. It told him there were “multiple factual
impossibilities” in his article, including his statements that “[t]he current
Secretary of Defense is a former talk show host for Fox News,” “[t]he
Deputy Director of the FBI used to guest-host Sean Hannity's show,” and
“Jeanine Pirro is the U.S. District Attorney for DC."
“Since none of these statements are true,” it told Morris, “they undermine
credibility unless signposted as hyperbole, fiction, or satire.
But of course, Morris's statements were not “factual impossibilities.” In the
United States of America under President Donald J. Trump, they are true.

#Trump’s #legalthreats against #media outlets have intensified during his second term, prompting #newsorganisations to be more vigilant in upholding their standards and defending their journalism.

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

What Happens When The Government Loses Its Credibility – The Comey Prosecution

By Joyce Vance, Nov 17, 2025

This is one of those long posts we occasionally have when a judge files a highly significant order. My apologies for starting the week off like this, but it’s a significant decision in a very important case. Understanding the details is critical to seeing the significance of a matter like this. Thanks for being here with me and understanding that.

It’s been a day of ping-pong in court in the Comey case, with pleadings and rulings volleying back and forth all day long concerning whether the government is required to turn over transcripts from grand jury proceedings. Grand jury transcripts are sealed to protect the integrity of investigations, and it’s extremely rare for a judge to make them available to a defendant. But that’s exactly what’s happening in the prosecution of the former FBI director. That’s because there are credible allegations of misconduct before the grand jury.

Misconduct is a word that can cover a lot of ground. We’ve been discussing some of it, like vindictive or selective prosecutions, which violate constitutional guarantees of due process. Prosecutors possess enormous power over people’s lives, and that power is too great to allow abuse of it to go unaddressed. People’s lives hang in the balance—if prosecutors can abuse their powers, innocent people can go to prison. Now, amplify the idea of abuse of power with a president who is directing the Justice Department to punish his enemies and reward his friends, and you have a sense of just how serious this moment is.

So, the issues involved here are incredibly important for the future of our democracy, but it becomes something of a muddle when the news reports you see are about dueling pleadings. A critically significant situation starts to feel picayune. We can’t afford to let that happen, so tonight, we’ll spend our time together dissecting what’s happening and its meaning. Last week I wrote to you that “there are strict rules governing prosecutors’ interactions with grand jurors and it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that someone with no prosecutorial experience could have transgressed them.” That turns out to have been on point.

The verdict is in on the maiden grand jury performance of Lindsey Halligan, the insurance lawyer Trump picked to replace an experienced prosecutor who refused to indict the Comey case because there wasn’t evidence to support it. The Judge found plenty to find fault with.

To understand what happened today, we need to know how we got here. The government wanted to use evidence from another proceeding in this case, but some of that evidence was protected by the attorney-client privilege. The government asked the Judge to permit them to use a “filter team” to evaluate the evidence to decide what the prosecutors in this case could use without violating the privilege. There are two judges involved: District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, who is hearing the case, and Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick, who is hearing some of the discovery disputes. In the course of the proceedings before Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick, problems came to light involving Halligan’s presentation to the grand jury and Comey’s lawyers filed a motion asking for disclosure of the grand jury minutes, in part because “the agent who served as a witness in the proceedings may have been exposed to Mr. Comey’s privileged communications with his attorneys and thus may have conveyed that information to the grand jury.” (If you want to know more about the filter team dispute after you’ve read tonight’s post, the dense procedural history of the case is laid out here).

Don Lemon, now that he no longer has a television show on CNN, said that after he left CNN: "I don't have to speak to people who make excuses for every lie that Donald Trump tells."

Without naming the liar, Lemon described Scott Jennings who CNN often broadcasts despite, or because of, Jennings frequent dishonesty.

The importance of a strong culture of integrity cannot be overstated. An organization’s reputation, credibility, and long-term sustainability hinge on the ethical principles it upholds. Companies that prioritize and nurture a culture of integrity demonstrate a commitment to ethical excellence, fostering trust among employees, clients, stakeholders, and the public at large. mediascope.group/culture-of-in #integrity #ethics #sustainability #business #impact #credibility #reputation #PR #publicrelations

Nice!

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "#credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the #Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state & local law enforcement. … #DHS' perception of events are simply #unreliable."

[Hell yeah they are]

Maybe concentrate on actual fascism before inventing new bogeymen.
AI antagonists are struggling with credibility anyway.
But sure, words don't matter anymore
