Hollywood's Brain Rot Battle - Tim Dillon
Netflix acquiring Warner Bros Discovery highlights an interesting paradox: as AI algorithms increasingly control what we watch on streaming platforms, physical media becomes MORE valuable 🎬💿🤖
DVDs and Blu-rays offer true ownership and discovery outside algorithmic bubbles. Like vinyl's comeback, physical media may thrive precisely because of AI dominance.

Gayle King, CBS News’ longtime face of the morning show, is expected to leave her anchor role next year as her contract ends in May. She might stay within CBS, possibly producing her own programming amid major division and leadership shifts under new ownership. With CBS cutting staff and the network shifting away from content seen as too liberal, her future—especially under editor Bari Weiss, hired to steer CBS News—and the broader overhaul remain uncertain. Will King stay behind the scenes or exit entirely?

America’s corporate media executives keep capitulating to Trump instead of defending the freedom of the press like they should be
Giant media companies are focused on pleasing Donald Trump and those who serve him rather than taking a stand for the First Amendment and free expression. The country can't afford this kind of cowardice.
Disney/ABC, Nexstar, and Sinclair just pulled late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel off the air after threat from Trump’s FCC chair
Weeks after Paramount canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel's show has been iced... and not because Kimmel said or did anything wrong, but because he was making jokes Donald Trump's regime doesn't like.

A foreign-owned media empire not only shaping the housing debate, but profiting directly from it?
Murdoch’s News Corp now owns real estate listings, mortgage platforms, property data firms and most of the media megaphone in this country — and they’re using that platform to steer the national housing conversation in ways that just so happen to benefit... themselves.
It’s no longer just bias — it’s vertical integration of propaganda and profit. A single company now helps drive housing policy outcomes by flooding the public sphere with editorials, headlines, and slanted coverage — while quietly monetising the very market conditions it helps create.
Where are the regulators? Where’s the outrage? Why is a foreign-controlled corporation allowed to manipulate both sides of the ledger — public opinion and private finance — while pretending it’s just journalism?
This is not a free press — this is a real estate racket with a printing press.

🎥🤡 #YouTube, the paragon of content morality, graciously warns us that self-hosting media (gasp!) is as dangerous as assembling your own IKEA furniture without an Allen wrench. Meanwhile, our hero Jeff Geerling, the Robin Hood of legal media purchases, is publicly scolded for owning a Raspberry Pi and a conscience. 😂🔧

Wow! I didn't known that McChesney was a rock critic once upon a time. RIP :-(
"Robert W. McChesney, the lion of anti-corporate media scholarship, is dead at the age of 72. He was, for decades, probably the most prominent academic critic of American media from the left, focused on all the ways our idealized vision of a “free press” was actually hampered by the power of big business, the wealthy, and government.
McChesney came from my favorite subgenre of media scholars: those who had a career in working journalism before entering the hallways of academe. He was a sports stringer for UPI and — even more hardcore — an ace ad salesman. In 1979, he was founding publisher of The Rocket, the Seattle alt newspaper that would become the bible of the Pacific Northwest music scene, including being the first to write about Nirvana.1
Ironically, his primary contribution to The Rocket’s editorial ethos seems to have been to convince its staffers to cover mainstream acts (AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush) alongside all the local indie bands they preferred — all “so that advertisers would believe that 100,000 people actually read our magazine…[we] participated in launching The Rocket not because we cared that much about music, but because we cared that much about publishing.” Not the early career you might expect from the man who’d become the country’s chief critic of corporate media ownership."
