New Skydance Already Worth Less Than Half Of Warner Brothers, Paramount Were Combined
I’ve documented for years how major media consolidation is simultaneously completely pointless and incredibly harmful. Such deals exist exclusively so that unremarkable rich men with no real ideas can grab some tax breaks, create the illusion of perpetual growth, and pretend they’re “savvy dealmakers.” Yet every single time a major media merger is completed the...

Right On Cue: Here Comes The Skydance/Paramount Layoffs
You can set your watch to it.Major media companies insist they simply have to merge to create all manner of amazing new "consolidative synergies." The debt from the acquisitions then result in brand and company cannibalization as labor and consumers are forced to carry the load. The net result is mass layoffs, higher prices, and...

Paramount, Warner Bros Formally Merge, Form Giant Mountain Of Disastrous Debt

SD valfuskar mest
Journalisten Victor Pressfeldt har gått igenom 5 000 incidentrapporter från vallokaler under valet. 77 rapporter kopplar ett parti till de rapporterade incidenterna. Sverigedemokraterna är det parti som försöker fuska mest medan Vänsterpartiet och Kristdemokraterna uppenbarligen i stort sett aldrig försöker påverka valet på ett otillåtet sätt.

The Disastrous Bari Weiss Experiment May Be Coming To An End At CBS/CNN
When right wing billionaire Larry Ellison (and his nepobaby son David) hired blog-troll Bari Weiss to run CBS News, Weiss arrived with the promise of “balanced, fact-based news,” “independent, principled journalism,” and a unique “entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision” that would modernize the network and reach the “everyday Americans” they claimed were "traditionally ignored by...

Även Arbetaren och Flamman är alternativmedier
En del människor på vänsterkanten har blivit upprörda över att Arbetaren och Flamman jämställs med högerextrema alternativmedier som Riks och Samnytt. Upprördheten är löjlig för Arbetaren och Flamman är i högsta grad alternativa nyhetskällor i förhållande till de stora tidningarna som ägs av ett fåtal tidningshus och som utgör huvuddelen av de publicerade nyhetskanalerna i Sverige.

What NAZA really is and isn’t
You've probably heard about the controversial film "NAZA" that apparently describes how the Israel Defence Forces draws up plans to kill large numbers of Palestinians. While very few people have seen the movie, it seems to be an inaccurate distortion of what NAZA really is. If you'd like to read more about what it actually...

Trump TV is the only source of footage of the President. That may be exactly what he wants.
In the same week, the President banned three networks from the White House - and started his own. It's not a coincidence that this happened so close to the midterms.

California AG Rob Bonta Caves, Paramount Merger To Proceed With Flimsy Conditions
California AG Rob Bonta has caved to what was a relentless, bipartisan pressure campaign to settle the 12 state antitrust lawsuit against Paramount. The AGs sued Paramount last July, arguing (correctly) that the $111 billion deal would largely be anti-competitive, resulting in mass layoffs as the even bigger Larry Ellison-owned company forces labor and consumers...

Vänsterns största webbsajter
Vänsterns största webbsajter är en lista som jag gör varje månad. Den omfattar inte stalinistiska, putinvänliga och så kallade anti-impsajter. Det kan handla om sådan sajter som exempelvis Proletären och Global Politics. Den omfattar inte heller vad jag ser som högersocialdemokratiska sajter som exempelvis Aktuellt i Politiken och Tiden.

Ytterligare 4 år med en Tidöregering?
Det verkar vara Centerpartiets inställning för närvarande. De vill inte sitta vid ett förhandlingsbord med V enligt partiledaren Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist. Vänsterpartiet är däremot villiga att ha ett samarbete med centern och är beredda att bila regeringen tillsammans med dem. När Thand Ringqvist säger nåt annat ljuger hon.
