So it looks like Larry Ellison's going to be pulling the puppet strings at CNN, not just CBS "News" -- another domino falling in the right-wing extremists' war on honest journalism.
Neither of those outlets has been remotely perfect in the past. But they're heading toward Fox Lite status now.
@dangillmor Doesn't seem like Ellison is spending billions to buy up media outlets to make them "Fox Lite". It sounds to me like either they'll be explicitly subversive normal-appearing propaganda outlets, or full-bore flagwaving propaganda outlets. But nothing left will resemble "news" or "journalism".
I mean, his whole end goal is privately owned/run state media where he's the oligarch in charge, right?
