The Federal Communications Commission finally approved an $8 billion merger between Paramount and Skydance on Thursday after several changes at CBS that were widely seen as efforts to placate President Donald Trump.

Part of the deal will apparently require an ombudsman to check the media company’s supposed political biases.

And FCC commissioner Brendan Carr has been doing the rounds to brag about how he’s getting people on TV to be nicer to the MAGA movement.

“They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.

“I mean, look, the American public simply do not trust these legacy media broadcasters. And so, if they stick with that commitment, you know, we’re sort of trust-but-verify mode, that’ll be a big win.”

While Carr said “the president” rather than “the president of Paramount,” it’s not clear what he meant.

Skydance wrote a letter to the FCC saying the ombudsman would answer to the president of Paramount, but it’s entirely possible that Carr understands their agreement differently.

Hunter Biden caused this

"Babysitter to Make Sure CBS Isn’t Anti-Trump" is a weird way to say "Propaganda Agent who makes sure they aren't critical of the regime".

>>1424523
the shill dialect is quite unusual

>>1424525
weird, it posted its chat gpt prompt instead of the result

the shill is projecting again, to the surprise of exactly nobody

A quick glance at the shit posted to this board proves the media is biased and out if control. They need babysitters. Unsurprisingly, there areca bunch of babies upset about this.

>>1424542
You people are such whiny babies.

>>1424545
And here we see a bigot pretending the problem is not their bigotry, but rather people calling it out.

>>1424542
>See the media needs babysitters of the state who tell them what they can and cannot report on
Really fucking listen to yourself. What you're describing is enforcement of a propaganda ministry.

>>1424545
Don't taunt them, they're a dumb kid who got tired of being mocked for being retarded and thinks they can cargo cult back the same things that get shouted at them

>>1424558
Nope. The media s bias is blatant. It is not okay. They will change. Or they will be changed.

>>1424546
It's because the so called bigotry is imaginary.

>>1424585
You can't bully people into accepting your far right ideology, especially the press.

>>1424585
forcing this change is being biased towards trump

>>1424659
Why not? USAID did it to us on behalf of the democrats.
That's not a rhetorical question. I actually want to know why you think we cannot do this.

>>1424675
>USAID did it to us on behalf of the democrats.
Big if true, source?


>USAID did it to us
>shill admits to being non-American
huehuehuehuehue

>>1424678
>USAID pays BBC
>BBC tells white liberal women in America that tariffs are going to tank america's economy
If you go to facebook, reddit, X, etc etc and look up who's trying to convince America that Trump is destroying the country, they are all from Canada, UK, Poland, Germany, Mexico, Spain etc etc etc
You retards still don't understand that dems have been openly targeting you with globalist propaganda for decades. That's why Trump's nationalism scares the hell of them. They leech off of America's goodwill and have done so since WWII.

>>1424679
So its just your mental illness?
Thanks for confirming that its not a thing

>>1424681
Kill yourself.

>Like many international development organisations, BBC Media Action has been affected by the temporary pause in US government funding, which amounts to about 8% of our income in 2023-24. We’re doing everything we can to minimise the impact on our partners and the people we serve.

>>1424682
So you still have nothing, and its just your mental illness?
You don't have to keep confirming its not a thing

>>1424679
>USAID is ruining America!
and their retarded source is...
>>1424682
>Uhhhh, BBC Media Action has 8% reduction in budget now
lmao

Not only does it have nothing to do with telling people in the US that tariffs are tanking America's economy, we don't need foreign people telling us.
Tariff costs have been universally confirmed as not being absorbed by foreign exporters or American importers, so its just literally an added tax making everything more expensive. Combined with a weaker dollar, we're getting fucked over since Trump is raising the prices on everything

>>1424694
The irony is, cancelling USAID fucked over a lot of jobs in the US. Because those guys sold TO USAID and one of their major buyers fucking vanished overnight.

>>1424675
> USAID did it to us on behalf of the democrats.
According to whom?
>I actually want to know why you think we cannot do this.
Who is "we" and why do you think you're part of the administration?

>>1424723
who knows, maybe the trump administration stole all the USAID money and gave it to esl shills larping as white men

>>1424724
You mean the small bit they didn't give to Israel? Yeah probably.

>>1424723
They internalize everything Trump says so when Trump gets attacked they also feel attacked.

>>1424668
Nope. When you're used to a position of privilege, equality feels like oppression. That's why you think forcing the media back to neutral is biased. You are wrong

>>1424659
Nope. Not forcing it right, just neutral.

>>1424740
>Guys, the monitor there to ensure they never say anything bad about the Trump admin is completely neutral, because obviously the Trump admin never does anything wrong or worthy of criticism.

>>1424754
You're right, we should go back to the "free" press that says fitness is a sign of white supremacy and that republicans are nazis.

>>1424755
>Hey but what about my strawman to justify the government literally having an agent in a major news network to ensure they are never criticized

>>1424756
I'm not mad that republicans are policing the people who repeatedly slandered people like me.

>>1424761
Stay off twitter and you never have to see the mean people post about you again.

state media? so cool! very democratic!

>>1424762
Sorry anon, we need to stop you from spreading dangerous misinformation. You agree, right? You're not a foreign agent, right?

>>1424756
You don't get to gaslight like this after the FBI literally put people in positions of social media companies to censor topics. Facebook was told not to allow any discussion about Hunter Biden when they knew it was true. You set this precedent

>>1424754
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/358983-media-shows-why-its-so-mistrusted-after-falsified-trump-fish-feeding

Yes. The news media has proven it will straight up lie about things. So now they get the leash.

>>1424827
Hey you know what media leashed by the state is called right? RIGHT?

Hint: Starts with a P.

>>1424827
This isn't how this works. Lying about something doesn't mean the State now has a divine right to censor and regulate you. I don't care if the Libs did it first, how about NO ONE censor ANYONE?

Your side is just giving a future President AOC or whomever the precedent to go after media she and her cohort don't like.

>>1424835
They've already done that.

>>1424835
Pumpernickel? Polyglot? Promiscuous!

There were plenty of lying newspapers during the founding too. The framers still decided to give journalists out of all professions a specific protection in the Constitution because of just how important a free press was to them. Crazy huh.

>>1424851
Doubt these MAGA types really care about the Founders or the Constitution. Their idea of America is completely disconnected and even scornful of the Liberal principles the Founders built the US on. Their idols lie in the Puritans, not the Patriots.

>>1424852
Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and free speech during the time of the civil war. There's not much difference here.

>>1424855
Is there a congress around that's willing to put an expiration date on that power at the end of whatever you consider to be the current civil war? That's a difference.

>>1424855
>muh illegal migrants are a foreign invading army meme
No one believes this

>>1424859
He doesn't need congressional approval in this case. The insurrection act provides the necessary tools.

>>1424869
Except it doesn't, he hasn't invoked it, and it was around during Lincoln's time when they put specific guardrails on what Lincoln was doing.

>>1424869
>>1424872
Also, Lincoln's unilateral suspension was ruled illegal. That's literally the only ruling we've ever gotten on presidential suspension of habeas, even if it is non-binding.

>>1424855
Except that we're not at war.

How much of a fucking bootlicker do you have to be to support state-controlled media?

>>1424882
yeah democrats are really retarded

>>1424884
Trump and company are doing all the things you accuse Democrats of doing, but you're still drugged up on all the stuff Conservatism Inc. has fed you the last 4 years that you're focused on fake conspiratoid nonsense they cooked up in a lab years ago.

>>1424887
Democrats accusing the others side of what they are doing woah what a unique spin from you, next you gonna tell me the walls are closing in and its the beginning of the end for grumpf...j..just another decade of smears and lies about him and he is done!

>>1424889
Nah, the dude's invincible, he'll be around till 2029.

>>1424851
No one is coming for your free press, chud. We just want common sense free press control.

>>1424887
Democrats tried to assassinate him twice, they charged him with over 90 fake felonies, and completely lied about Russian collision and spent his entire term investigating him over it. I wish Trump was just 10% if youas much of a fascist as the Democrats are

>>1424942
>Regurgitates Conservativism Inc. talking points verbatim
>proves my point

>>1424892
By definition, if something is "controlled" it is not "free".

>>1424942
you should slow down when you type, esl shill. you're really embarrassing yourself

>>1424889
I will genuinely never understand how Trump has this fucking charisma to you people. I just see an old man who lucked into power and is surrounded by the worst people on the face of the planet. What the fuck do you people see?

>>1424993
You are blinded by jealousy.

>>1424558
>>1424668
oh because the democrat controlled mainstream media definitely wasn't a propaganda outlet when they ran hit pieces on trump 24/7 for the past 8 years huh? bury your head in the sand some more and go kys.
disgusting hypocrites.
I don't even like trump because I'm not canadian but I hope he violates you and lives rent free in your house until you can't take it anymore and jump off a roof

>>1424993
have you considered looking at the democrats? people voted for trump because he's anything but them you fucking retards literally made him a martyr for political injustice and violence.
Fuck You democrats for being the biggest political support base for trump by being absolutely disgusting human filth.

>>1424996
>>1425003
>>1425006
you really suck at your job

>>1425014
I don't need your job retard

>>1425023
you could use an english tutor, though

>>1425025
did you learn that from reddit you uneducated nitwit? you can tell how low IQ someone is when they can't argue and just play grammar nazi all day frankly i'm ashamed of your parents for being such pathetic losers they bred a moron like you

>>1425033
>he thinks everyone is esl
LMAO. you're truly a clown

>>1425050
I'm going to enjoy seeing you get violated in alligator alcatraz while screaming at the guards that they spelt your instead of you're. you're going to have a nice time there spending the rest of your life as a braindead urinal.

>Can't call Trump Orange Hitler 24/7 and make up blatant lies and slander against him
>This is fascism according to Democrats

>>1425167
>can't call fascism fascism
>This is fascism according to Democrats
That's correct.

>>1425167
That's exactly the framing a fascist would use though.

>>1425184
A fake Russian hoax and 90 fake felonies on a kangaroo court is infinitely more fascist than forcing the media to stop being retarded

>>1425006
But he's literally destroyed the economy.
