This is exactly as expected. Larry Ellison now controls TikTok while his son David Ellison now controls Paramount/ Skydance which is CBS. To solidify the objective of TikTok, new algorithms will be implemented, while to solidify the objective of CBS, Bari Weiss is hired as Editor-in-Chief of news.
The Trump administration assisted both the purchase of TikTok by Larry Ellison, and the acquisition of Paramount by David Ellison. CBS settled with President Trump for $16 million. Paramount then purchases/acquires Bari Weiss online site The Free Press and moves Weiss to editor of CBS news, while President Trump triggers a tariff against Hollywood production movies not made in the USA.
L Ellison (Oracle, TikTok), Musk (X, SpaceX), Thiel (Palantir), Sacks (Crypto), Karp (Palantir) and D Ellison (CBS) are all well positioned to fundamentally change the way information is processed for public consumption. CNN (Disney) is likely to be the final piece of the puzzle to be assembled.
David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bari and The Free Press to Paramount and CBS News. Bari is a proven champion of independent, principled journalism, and I am confident her entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision will invigorate CBS News. This move is part of Paramount’s bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects – directly and passionately – to audiences around the world.”(VIA NEW YORK TIMES) – […] In a move that is expected to shake up the broadcast news landscape, CBS’s owner, Paramount, said on Monday that it was buying The Free Press, an upstart digital news site founded just four years ago, and appointing Ms. Weiss, one of its founders, as the editor in chief of CBS News.We are entering an entirely new era in information delivery.
The purchase price was roughly $150 million in cash and Paramount stock, according to two people familiar with the terms who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The total amount will be paid out over time, and it may fluctuate depending on the price of Paramount’s stock.
The acquisition puts one of the country’s most traditional news institutions — the former home of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite — under the editorial guidance of a journalist who rose to fame in part by critiquing old-line media institutions that she deemed timid and untrustworthy. Ms. Weiss is also a stalwart champion of Israel, and her site frequently lambastes the perceived excesses of the so-called woke left.
Ms. Weiss, 41, has never run a TV network, and in her role will have influence over hundreds of producers, anchors and reporters around the world. She will report to David Ellison, Paramount’s chief executive, and work alongside Tom Cibrowski, the president of CBS News.

ReplyDeleteGloating?
The Re-Education and Re-Programming began some time ago. The bigliest step in that direction occurred when elon greatly overpaid for Twit-Turd.
X/ Twiiter... Tik Tok... CBS... and soon... Disney. The re-education is in the works, now.
DeleteReprogramming as fascists and communists are so effective at no doubt.
DeleteNo wonder the Drumph cult is all in with reprogramming. They're fascist through and through.
So what's the opposite of a fascist, Les? The descriptor for what you think you are fight FOR (not against)? Weren't the Communists anti-fascists in WWII?
DeleteYep. Gloating. What rightturd is rich enough to buy Disney? Are you buying it?
DeleteOctober the 7th, A Day of Unprecedented Horror. The Massacre in Israel.
ReplyDeleteThe brutal October 7 attacks were a series of coordinated armed incursions from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza envelope of southern Israel, carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups on October 7, 2023, during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.
On October 7, 2023, Israel faced one of the worst, bloodiest, darkest days in its history. During the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, a day that should have been spent in joy, and in celebration the Islamic terrorists launched a pre-planned, coordinated assault on multiple communities in Southern Israel, breaching the Gaza-Israel barrier. Well over 1,000 lives were lost, including hundreds of civilians, children, and security personnel.
The attacks were swift, brutal, and indiscriminate. Homes, schools, and public spaces became scenes of terror. Entire communities were left in shock, and families were torn apart in an instant. The nation was forced to confront an unimaginable reality: that violence of this magnitude could strike its citizens in their everyday lives.
Hamas and other Militant groups took approximately 251 people Hostage during attacks in southern Israel. The Hostages were taken into the dark tunnels of the Gaza Strip.
As of early October 2025, the number of hostages that were remaining in captivity has been significantly reduced due to releases and rescue operations, while others have been declared dead. While exact counts vary, some sources indicate that roughly 48 hostages are still being held in Gaza, though only about 20 are believed to be still alive. The total number of hostages, both living and deceased, that were initially taken on October 7. The violence inflicted on October 7 was both deliberate and merciless. Survivors recount scenes that haunt them to this day. Homes were invaded: Families were shot and killed in their living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. Parents shielded children, yet many perished alongside them. Children we raped, beheaded, burned alive in front of their parents, and their dead bodies were thrown in ditches.
festivals, markets, and synagogues became sites of mass killings, leaving Hundreds dead or severely injured.
Abductions and hostage-taking: Militants abducted civilians, including children, and Babies, and the elderly, dragging them from their homes into the unknown.
Destruction of infrastructure: Entire neighborhoods were burned, schools and hospitals destroyed, leaving communities without basic services. Hospitals overflowed, medical staff worked around the clock, and emergency response teams faced unimaginable pressure. Entire communities were traumatized, left to grapple with grief, fear, and the loss of all normalcy.
Since October 7, the plight of hostages taken during the attacks has revealed a new layer of horror. Men, women, and children have been subjected to systematic cruelty, their lives exploited as tools of terror.
Used as human shields during militant operations and forced to risk their lives to protect their captors.
Starved and deprived of basic necessities, enduring hunger and exhaustion under constant fear.
Forced to participate in propaganda films, coerced into speaking or acting in messages meant to terrorize others and manipulate international perception.
Made to dig their own graves, a psychological and physical torment that underscores the brutality of their captors.
Living underground in cramped, dark, and unsanitary conditions for weeks or months at a time, isolated from the outside world and cut off from family.

ReplyDeleteThese remaining hostages continue to endure unimaginable dark, and unhuman conditions, a stark reminder that the violence of October 7 did not end with the initial massacre. Their suffering highlights the urgent need for international pressure, rescue operations, and diplomatic efforts to secure their release and bring their tormentors to justice.
In the aftermath of October 7, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emerged as a decisive and resolute leader, guiding the nation through o of its darkest moments. His leadership focused on a dual approach: ensuring the immediate security of Israeli citizens while mobilizing national and international support to address the humanitarian and military crisis. His only partner in the effort was, and is President Trump. Without his help the remaining Hostages faith would would have no possibility of a successful ending. The Trump Peace Initiative, A Fragile Path to Stability is the only possible solution, and hope. In recent days President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point peace plan aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. And this is where it stands today!
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Gig at Levi's Stadium incites MAGA outrage, the result is No More Bad Bunny!
ReplyDelete‘Almost as soon as news broke Sunday that Bad Bunny would be the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, pro-Trump conservative figures jumped on social media to express their outrage about the NFL giving such a global platform to a musician who sings in Spanish and who has been a vocal critic of the president’s hardline anti-immigration policies.
For his part, the Puerto Rican-born Anti-Everything America artist dubbed the “King of Latin Trap” celebrated his high-profile Halftime Show gig at the Feb. 8, 2026, game at the San Francisco 49ers Stadium in Santa Clara as a victory for the Latino community. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement. “It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown … this is for my people, my culture and our history. The result is Good-Bye Bad Bunny
