Trey Stone and Matt Parker are going to have sooooo much fun with this. 'Member when Comedy Central tried to censor them? They know what they have and I’m here for the fireworks.
What is crazy to me are the lengths that Trump is willing to go to distract from his Epstein debacle. Also, maybe before agreeing to go on South Park Trump should’ve familiarized himself with their type of show.
This is a very Chinese move
Welp, guess political commissars are back.
Before the second Trump era, it would’ve been seen as a ridiculous violation of the First Amendment to have some kind of monitor making sure the media was being nice to the president.
No. No, it is ridiculous. Don’t pretend it’s fine.
I hope Matt Stone and Trey Parker create no end of shit for Paramount/CBS.
RIP America.
With the multi-billion-dollar deal they just signed, Paramount loses no matter what.
I love it.
Yes, those billions of dollars are sure to cause untold sadness among the shareholders.
I’m referring to the deal Trey an Matt just signed. Firing them will cost billions.
They won’t fire them. Trump will just ignore any satire that they throw his… lol, no, he won’t. I don;t know how this will go. That’s a lot to write off by firing. This could get ugly and go beyond just political and business dealings. “Will someone rid me of these cartoon guys?”
They signed a streaming deal. Cancelling the show order would have no impact on that deal whatsoever.
Which means they get the money but Paramount gets no show to profit from
Yes, Paramount would get no new episodes to profit from, but they would still have the entire backcatalogue to profit from until the timeframe for this deal ends
Part of the deal included 50 new episodes.
The party of small government, folks.
Sure sounds like free speech.
Free speech…with conditions.
Speech will continue to be free as long as you are saying the right things.
(All other speech will be heavily fined)
Stop oppressing media babysitters!!1!

I want them to start publishing the exact same hyperbolic stories they do in North Korea about the Kim family. I want to see a “Trump Family Never Poops” headline.
“They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.
So sick of these assholes for whom “fact-based reporting” means “lies that promote fascism” and “fake news” means “true reporting.”
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
— George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
CBS was already pretty terrible about giving both sides airtime and attacking both sides equally… even when the evidence was clear that one side was in the wrong or there was additional context left untold. And it has almost always benefited the right when they do that.
So I actually agree. They should go to fact-based reporting. But I’m guessing my idea of fact-based reporting is different from theirs.
A “censor” if you will…
More like a political commissar…
“Zampolit”, perhaps?
This is the word.
So what government offices aren’t being weaponized at this point and where are all the small/no interference republicans at?
So sad that the oval office is occupied by such a small, weak man.
Could you imagine the outrage if Biden or Obama had done this to Fox?
Why aren’t liberals protesting this?
Yes, it’s the liberals fault! Why aren’t they stopping the people who have power over every part of our government! I realize the media doesn’t talk about when they do protest, but that’s no excuse! Why aren’t there more protests, more often and bring guns! /s
I guess the republicans could stop them at any point in this process, but they don’t. You know, cuz it’s a fucking job he can be fired from.
My point is where is the outrage?
Why isn’t this the cover story on every national news webpage and trending on socials?
People day that about every story coming out of the Trump admin. And it’s true, every one of these stories would be a huge scandal in normal times
The thing is America is now an autocratic country. Opposing the oligarchs, especially Trump, now leads to significant personal consequences
This is all setup. Silencing dissenting news doesn’t immediately do anything. It just let’s them do terrible things more easily in the future
Once it gets real ugly, I’ll be leaving. I voted against and protested against this stuff my whole life. It didn’t work. Until it gets to that point though, I make way more here than elsewhere. Might as well bank money while I can
Because the media is fucking complicit.
Dude, you know I love ya man, but there’s a reason most of us are here instead of the bad place. This is one of the least suppressed social media outlets, and it still has its issues with who controls the front page of all. The only reason the “No Kings” protest was covered was because millions showed up and their readers were probably in the crowd. It has to get to millions to cover it.
Yes the right has much better messaging then liberals or leftists.
I know you’re just fucking around, but we’re just so freaking tired. We don’t know how this will end either. Right now, it’s not looking good.
I’m frustrated that so many people sat around and didn’t vote and now that we have a chance to hammer on the outrage constantly so people are angry and motivated to make a change we’re not.
The epstein thing is making cracks in his base. I’m not getting my hopes up, but if you look over at conservative in the bad place, they seem to be turning a little. Being mad at what’s already been done is useless.
I also think you’re not realizing how much the media is behind trump. I don’t know if it’s so they don’t get sued, blackmailed or what, but it’s definitely happening. If you go through the media like I do every day, it’s blatantly obvious that the headline writers are on his side. Most people only read the headlines and they know that. The articles themselves are mostly good, but even ones that I put in the top 3 will *sometimes not explain everything. You have to read 4 or 5 articles to get the full story and most people don’t have time for that shit.
Edit: Actually I do have a clue as to why the media is on trump’s side, he cuts their taxes and mostly makes them a shit ton of money. I put together this list of all of the media owners before the last election, and every single one is either owned by a billionaire or has corporations on their board of directors. https://sh.itjust.works/post/20890256
Aren’t you the liberal? Why aren’t you protesting this?
I love how you assume I’m not.
What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about?
We have litterally thousands of comments to evaluate each other by.
Do you have some sort of ‘Lemmy user that doesn’t protest’ program built now?
Actually I’ve been working on a shitlib detector.
Go ahead. Try it out.
I mean, the article is from today
What’s your point by tomorrow they’ll be distracted by something else that they won’t be protesting.
They’ve been murdering NPR and PBS for months now
Why aren’t liberals protesting this?
We are
Is it even comparable? CBS wasn’t some left propaganda channel.
So this is worse.
They were outraged when he did completely normal things. That’s their default state in order to paint themselves as victims. Once they’ve done that, they can get away with anything.
I will never watch or support CBS ever again.
Or paramount
Got it. Can’t offend Glorious Leader. Nazi simps.
Does Fox get a babysitter as well to make sure they don’t get too pro Trump? Yeaaaaaah…
