CBS spiked Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas representative and senate candidate James Talarico, because it’s Larry Ellison’s nepobaby’s toy. They’re already willing partners in the regime’s state media, but FCC chair Brendan Carr has been slinging threats around to less compliant outlets for the past year. With Ellison’s Paramount still angling to takeover Warner Bros., the chilling effects will continue until there’s just one media company left to bribe the Trump administration and bore the rest of us with lazy propaganda.

Transition Trial BalloonsThe names being floated by the Trump transition are like horrible human Whack-A-Mole. I still can’t believe that I’ll be staring at these faces and drawing their atrocities for the next four years. Or until free speech is canceled, whichever comes first.

Peter Thiel’s Million-Dollar Legal Maneuvers

Million-Dollar Legal ManeuversBillionaire Paypal founder Peter Thiel has thin skin, so it makes sense that he’s also a Trump delegate. Unable to sue Gawker for outing him, Thiel used his fortune to anonymously fund other suits against the tabloid. A lot of “serious” journalists shrugged since they think Gawker got what they deserved, but there’s nothing stopping him or other rich people from doing the same to more reputable publications.

Please don’t show him this cartoon; I can’t afford to make him angry.
