The Minsky Moment

Nothing really surprising here; Paramount-CBS is high profile media company, subject to broad federal regulatory authority. Pre-2025 that would not matter of course, because back then the USA was a free country governed by the rule of law. In 2025, however, the USA is a managed authoritarian state along the Putinist-Orbanist pattern and thus any large media outlet must make accommodations to the junta or face financial consequences or worse.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

Apparently his show, while the most popular, "only" gets 2.5 millions views a night. That's seems low. Is network tv really that dead, viewership wise?


Also, trump is now suing the wall street journal. Wonder what writers they'll have to fire to placate trump.

Will they placate him or will they fight?

It's a 10 billion$ lawsuit, so totally frivolous.  There's a lot of anger toward Trump from the Q-Anon Maga.  Murdoch could exploit the anger and turn against Trump to make a killing out there.

I assume Murdoch will fight. He has been terrorising politicians for decades and won't want to lose that power by being revealed as a paper tiger.

Watching a clip from a Karoline Leavitt press conference she really reminds me of Jo on Mythic Quest.

They'll fight until the point where Trump has to make his sworn deposition in the case (when the defense will get to ask him all about his relationship with Epstein, under oath) and Trump drops the suit.  Suing was the most moronic possible response to the WSJ piece, because it opens up Trump's relations with Epstein during discovery.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
