    Das war’s dann wohl mit #JohnOliver. Damit hat der 2. Moderator der unrühmlichen #StrikeForce5 nach #StephenColbert seinen Job an den Nagel gehängt. Bleiben noch 3 übrig, aber machen wir uns nichts vor, für Kimmel, Fallon und Meyers tickt die Uhr auch immer lauter. #LateNight

  5. A little good news this morning! CBS was forced to pay a fine for Stephen Colbert's use of copyrighted music from Peanuts on his last show.

    And then the company who owns the copyright, Lee Mendelson Film Productions Inc., payed that forward, donating it to World Central Kitchen!

  11. "CBS ended up trailing the competition with only 628,000 total viewers for Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed, which launched a day after Colbert left the network, a 65-percent drop for the same time slot compared to last year. In the 18-49 demo, only 82,000 viewers tuned in."

  13. Scott Pelley Fired. Time To Move On

    Scott Pelley was fired by CBS. By most accounts, except those from CBS management, he was fired for daring to speak the truth about what is happening under their new ownership that’s far too fond of kissing the ass of the president. 

    I have a couple of thoughts.

    First, Pelley shouldn’t have been fired I don’t care how belligerent he may have gotten with his bosses. The world needs a little more righteous belligerence instead of the babble we get for show.

    Second, the current management of CBS are idiots, which is easily proven by how ineptly they handled this entire episode. There’s not enough eggs to cover the faces of the feckless.

    Third, while it’s right to be momentarily outraged at the numbskulls from CBS and those who play them like puppets, it’s time to move on.

    For Pelley.

    For most of us.

    I’m not pointing specific fingers at Pelley when I say this, but he was part of a media establishment that largely has failed us since before the dawn of the Trump era and continues to do so daily. The 1st amendment put the press on a cherished and protected pedestal. The cringing cowardice and capitulation of those atop that pedestal these days has aided the current regime in knocking itself off it. The Fourth Estate is essentially a cliché that lost its meaning.

    New horizons await. Hopefully with new voices and new approaches headed towards them. Time to open the floodgates and let the waters wash away a multitude of sins that helped bring us this ultimate sinner without par.

    All around us venues like podcasts, YouTube, and TikTok are where many are getting their news and their entertainment. Given that there’s been so little courage and competence in the establishment media for so long, it’s no wonder kids on TikTok get higher ratings for reviewing school lunches in the cafeteria. Hell, YouTube is kicking the media’s butt from Hollywood to New York in ways that it’s almost hard to fathom, but increasingly easy to acknowledge. For anyone but the media.

    Would I like to see some of the big names who’ve gotten the axe in this regime’s purges get second chances on different platforms? Sure. But only if they seek out these new approaches and find a little courage. Those new approaches might still come under fire from the cowardly bullies that cower and lash out at any criticism. But at least they won’t come under fire from capitulating corporate chieftains who bow and scrape to the bloviating bullshit artists, hoping they can survive until the chaos we’re surrounded by ends someday. 

    Like it or not, traditional media as an institution, revered as it is, and as holy as its acolytes hold themselves, shares a big part of the blame and is no different than anything else that’s been touched, tainted, and torched in this tumultuous decade plus. It took a while for what passes as journalism to dig its way out of the robber baron era of previous generations. You can argue that CBS was in the forefront of the leaders that helped wash off the tinge of yellow journalism. Those days are over.

    What was is gone.  Self-immolation. There’s no use pretending it can be rebuilt from any of the remaining ashes. 

    Kudos to Scott Pelley for standing up for what’s right. We need more like him. We’ve needed more like him for too long. I’m sorry what happened to him and so many others in the media, throughout government, and in other fields of endeavor. No one deserved what’s happening. But I have to ask each of them, what took you so long? Even the visually impaired among us clearly saw most of this coming. Certainly this second time around.

    Mourn the losses.

    Curse the bad guys.

    Then move on and build something in the future that might have a hope of preventing these cascading catastrophes from happening to anyone else in the future.

    Good night, and good luck.

Like, he was already a popular figure, but now he's been martyred in a way that has the moderates very concerned, I'm imagining where it could potentially lead if he dedicated the next few months to couple years to working against #Trump / #Fascism, now that he doesn't have a network of FCC regulations keeping him reigned in...
