The Trump administration issued subpoenas seeking phone records of not just journalists but also their relatives. It’s disgraceful. Even the Mafia considers family members off limits. The court should quash the subpoenas and consider sanctions on the DOJ. @trevortimm.bsky.social explains.

Warner Bros. declined to air our ad during UFC Freedom 250 about what David Ellison's proposed takeover of CNN, HBO, and other outlets would mean for press freedom. "Instead, it censored it," FPF's Seth Stern said. Read more from @jeremymbarr.bsky.social:

Paramount rejected ad criticizing its owners and Warner Bros acquisition

Rejected citing ‘conflict of interest’, the ad took aim at Trump allies David Ellison, Paramount Skydance chief, and his billionaire father, Larry Ellison

theguardian.com

David Ellison won’t air criticism of himself, his company, or his buddy Trump. This is bad for press freedom, bad for the public, and bad for Paramount. Read our statement:

Paramount+ blocks FPF ad about Trump-Ellison censorship threat

News companies should know better than to censor their critics
