Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social ): If you want to know what David Ellison would do w/ CNN, look at CBS, "a raging dumpster fire with non-stop controversies ... meddling in editorial content to make it more Trump-friendly and historic declines as the audience runs away as fast as it can."
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Journalism has become the art of stubbornly refusing to draw the obvious conclusion
Imagine being a US Senator pretending to care abt the child rape of the Epstein files; and then hiring Todd Blanche to help protect the rapists.
Never once in history have the book banners been the good guys. If they’d read a history book they’d know that.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

The SCREEN Act is the biggest threat to your right to free, anonymous speech, ever. That this bill is very likely to be signed into law should send a chill down everyone's spines. Within the next month (or sooner), it will be the single most talked about topic in America - and rightfully so.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
The founders are calling. They suggest you read the damn Constitution.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

"The rich man is projecting. When he calls others parasites and vermin and other words meant to strip them of their humanity, he understands on some level that he is talking not about some hated poor black or brown person, but about himself." Damn, @dennycarter.bsky.social nails it again.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
