CBS parent company Paramount recently reached an $8.4 billion merger agreement with Skydance Media, a deal the current administration only approved on condition that the network hire a so-called bias monitor, seemingly to ensure the networks reporting doesnt make the president angry.Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr confirmed on Newsmax after the agency approved the merger last week that the so-called bias monitor will be in place for two years and report to the Paramount president. Related Pete Buttigieg says public has reached volcanic boiling point of impatience with president He accused the president of appointing incompetent people over very important things in our lives. The FCC cited precedent for the move, but Ars Technica pointed out that the case it used involved an ombudsmen to protect NBCs editorial independence after Comcast purchased NBCUniversal in 2011. Attorney and media policy expert Andrew Jay Schwartzman told Ars Technica that the 2011 case is very different from the viewpoint-based nature of the CBS condition. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez agreed and said the agencys latest move is imposing never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law.The implementation of the bias monitor is especially suspect, given that the merger was only approved by the FCC after CBS settled for $16 million following a lawsuit by the president, who claimed the network had deceptively edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris before the election. Many have since accused CBS of bribing the administration to approve its merger. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) called out the company for folding right when it needed the administrations approval for the merger and demanded an investigation. This could be bribery in plain sight, she said. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) called it disgusting to watch Skydance and Paramount bow to the administrations endless and illegal demands. He called it a dark day for anyone who believes in the rule of law and the First Amendment and promised to launch an investigation into the merger approval.While the FCC claimed the settlement had nothing to do with the merger, Carr has since praised the administration for refusing to allow national broadcasters [to] dictate how people think about topics. Carr also celebrated that CBS is committing to restoring fact-based journalism, which appears to be a dog whistle for reporting that makes the administration look good, considering its continued vilification of the mainstream media (regularly accusing journalists of anti-conservative bias) and its proven willingness to lie at every turn. Carr has also been quite overtly communicating the agencys plans to meddle with the mainstream media. On CNBC last week, he said the president is fundamentally reshaping the media landscape and that the industry needs a course correction.He also admitted Skydances agreement to monitor bias was what tipped the scales for the FCC to approve the deal. The new owners of CBS came in and said, Its time for a change. Were going to reorient it towards getting rid of bias,' Carr said. At the end of the day, thats what made the difference for us.In her statement against the merger, Commissioner Gomez warned that it is the American public who will ultimately pay the price for Paramounts cowardly capitulation. Despite this regrettable outcome, this administration is not done with its assault on the First Amendment, she continued.In fact, it may only be beginning. The Paramount payout and this reckless approval have emboldened those who believe the government canand shouldabuse its power to extract financial and ideological concessions, demand favored treatment, and secure positive media coverage.It is a dark chapter in a long and growing record of abuse that threatens press freedom in this country. But such violations endure only when institutions choose capitulation over courage. It is time for companies, journalists, and citizens alike to stand up and speak out, because unchecked and unquestioned power has no rightful place in America.

Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isnt. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldnt be. And what it wouldnt be, it would. You see?Here in Lewis Carrolls nonsensical upside-down world of Wonderland, right is wrong and good is bad, characters shrink, grow, and disappear quicker than a wink of an eye, the Mad Hatter sings a happy unbirthday to you, and the Cheshire Cat correctly reminds us that Were all mad here.This strange world resounds in the political discourse of the entire Trumpian era as the administration and the Republican Party gaslights its followers into believing its so-called populist agenda. We are the mad ones, they would have us believe, if we do not want to live in their upside-down world. Trump and the MAGA sphere have co-opted and transformed reality into a dystopian novel likeThe Handmaids Tale,Fahrenheit 451,Brave New World,Animal Farm,1984,The Giver,The Hunger Games,The Plague,The Trial,The Plot Against America,and The Lord of the Flies all in one.Conservatives have metamorphosed concepts of justice and equity into toxic and violent epithets in their patriarchal heteronormative Christian white supremacist project in which they have positioned rich white hetero-cisgender men as the victims of a plot by left-wing socialists to turn the United States into a nanny state of feminine men and losers.Trump and his MAGA sycophants are saturating the airwaves with lies that human-caused climate change is a hoax; that windmills are ugly, cause cancer, and take the lives of millions of birds; and that vaccinesweakenthe human immune system. That there are only two genders and transwomen are nothing more than men in skirts; that immigrants are criminals and psychopaths who eat cats and dogs.That the One Big Beautiful Bill will lower taxes and costs on all products and will be great for our healthcare, while Trumps tariffs will be paid by foreign countries and have already accumulated billions of dollars in reducing our national debt. That countries are waiting in line to make economic agreements because Trump is known worldwide for his art of the deal.That I hardly knew Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Connery stepped in to allow my new Scottish golf course to go through the approval process. That Jerome Powell doesnt know anything about how to manage interest rates, that Stephen Colbert is a second-rate entertainer, and that Josh Hawley (R-MO) is a second-tier senator for disagreeing with the president, but I, Donald Trump, am still a very stable genius.That social justice is very discriminatory and not at all socially just. And that diversity stands for anti-white, anti-heterosexual, anti-cisgender, anti-able-bodied, anti-Christian, anti-U.S.-born, anti-male, while equity is actually inequity, and inclusion is exclusion of white heterosexual cisgender able-bodied U.S.-born Christian males.But Trumps Truth Social, theyll have you believe, is both truthful and social. As the Trump administration continues its relentless assault on speech that in any way contradicts or challenges MAGAs perception of reality, it is also targeting public and private institutions that receive government funding.In a recent press release, the U.S. Justice Department outlined its Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination. The document reads as if it were written by the Mad Hatter. Today, the Department of Justice clarifies that federal antidiscrimination laws apply to programs or initiatives that involve discriminatory practices, including those labeled as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. The subtext here is that programs to combat discrimination are themselves discriminatory for alleged biased against white heterosexual able bodied cisgender Christian U.S.-born males. The release continues, Entities that receive federal funds, like all other entities subject to federal antidiscrimination laws, must ensure that their programs and activities comply with federal law and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, or other protected characteristicsno matter the programs labels, objectives, or intentions.When you click on the document, itself, it emphasizes that using protected characteristics for employment, program participation, resource allocation, or other similar activities, opportunities, or benefits, is unlawful. It also describes DEI as a euphemistic term and makes clear that trans-inclusive policies are considered unlawful. As such, what the Trump administration is actually saying here is that it will shutter programs, departments, and entire institutions that stray from its line of what is appropriate to discuss on college and university campuses.
