The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Texas State Representative James Talarico did not appear as scheduled on "The Late Show" on Monday, and Stephen Colbert addressed his absence in a segment he was strongly advised against. "He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast," Colbert said of Talarico, a Democrat.

Full on North Korea-Iran-Russian style censorship right here in the US. This is the Trump admin saying ‘no Democrats on TV’ & the Ellison’s & Bari Weiss saying sounds good to us. Truly terrifying times.

CBS and Fox are both state tv.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Meet two Russian criminals who should not be allowed near children: Figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze oversaw the doping of a 14-year-old in 2022. Daniil Gleikhengauz was considered not neutral by the ISU.His spouse,Olga Pautova, is a Russian propagandist (channel one).He was admitted by the IOC

Recent CBS News news:
1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades
2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem
3. Producer says politics dictating what airs
4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table.
5. Not firing Epstein pal.

Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.

Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

With Democrats like this who needs a Republican?

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

A clip that will be used for many years to come.

This is inevitably where both sides journalism leads to.

Both sides journalism inevitably leads to child rape apology

CNN should be so embarrassed to have a child of rapist apologist on air.

A Presidents' Day lesson from Philadelphia “Each person who visits the President’s House and does not learn of the realities of founding-era slavery receives a false account of this country’s history,“ Judge Cynthia Rufe wrote.

Leon Botstein, president of @bardcollege.bsky.social, has repeatedly made public statements about his relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have turned out to be misleading, incomplete, or untrue. I'm going to make a thread to compile them all here.

However, emails from Botstein to Epstein show that Botstein was aware of media coverage of Epstein's sexual abuse and trafficking of children, and offered Epstein moral support following such coverage on at least two occasions.

Sorry, @dziblatt.bsky.social, it was long overdue 😂

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike. TikTok video by MeidasTouch

AOC has more charisma and clarity than pretty much any human writing about her, especially us dudes. The jealousy is palpable.

AOC Makes Her Big Foreign Policy Debut, Falls Flat on Her Face

Shockingly, Glem does not like woman

The reporter, Kellen Browning, is about 28 years old and his first job out of college was with The New York Times.

Google results on his name are filled with references to his stint as a member of the Pomona College track team. He graduated in 2019.

Recently, @kellen.bsky.social referred to AOC as a "progressive agitator." And of course the editor left that in.

It's not that it's wrong, technically. But "agitator" carries all kinds of baggage that all journalists should recognize, assuming they didn't.

Judge orders restoration of Philadelphia slavery exhibits Cynthia Rufe, a George W. Bush appointee, compared the administration’s effort to remove the panels to Orwell’s “1984.”

"In a withering opinion Monday, Judge Cynthia Rufe invoked George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984,” saying the administration had attacked the concept of truth itself as it sought to erase details of America’s legacy of slavery."

We can move capital if we go local, go big, and don't let up.

Just like the Supreme Court in March of 2024.
