"I do think that again, we are in the midst of a massive shift in dynamics in the media ecosystem for lots of reasons, again, including the permission structure that President Trump's election has provided," the FCC chief said.

The fascists with the real power have abandoned their masks. The fascists with ambitions for power still wear them. For now.

The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last. (RIP Gene Wilder)

I always had the impression that there was an underlying censorship issue over in the US (what with everyone there hearing nothing good about Palestinians for the past half century) but to have it be so open and discussed in such a euphemistic and yet banal way, wow. I wonder how these quotes we are seeing on our screens will be remembered.

“Permission structure” on its own is incredible.

I've been predicting since Trump got elected that we'll see streaming services purge their LGBT content

It's gonna be a lot more than streaming services purged.

What would constitute that content? Any show/movie with even one such character and/or plot line? Because that would be nearly all of them, at least more recent content?

Is it going to be nothing but bullshit Hallmark schlocky xmas movies? I'm bracing myself for a whole stream of shitty "wholesome" content being cranked out by Hollywood. 🤮

Remember the movie the dark knight rises? When bane takes over the city and people take over and throw out the rich and put them on trial? Yea we need something like that now.

Fascists aren't done until someone forcefully removes them from power.

Watching Chuck Schumer fight harder to protect Jimmy Kimmel than Hind Rajab.

Liberal politics in a nutshell.

We're not done yet ruining the country for every normal American. We want every reasonable person in this country to be absolutely miserable because Taco is not only such a terrible human being, but also such a tender snowflake that cannot have normal Americans pointing out that he is hated by most of the country.

How long before American media becomes like North American media? Just propaganda 24/7.

I find it funny that this always gets posted when people make comparisons to North Korea, which is pretty much always chosen because it's like the poster child for shit human rights. Do you want them to pick the Congo instead or something?

There is big chance he is a teenager roleplaying as a communist online.
