DAVID ELLISON BOUGHT WARNER BROTHERS YESTERDAY, AND THEY’RE ALREADY REDUCED TO RUNNING STALE OLD RERUNS ON TV:

For some reason the personalities at CNN dont get how capitalism works

The Ellison's now own CNN and Jake Tapper went on air to say “We here at ‘The Lead’ want you to know that we take Mr. Ellison at his word and we will hold him to it.”

Hold him to it? Its — meaning CNN -…

Hold him to it? Its — meaning CNN — is his to do as he pleases

Jake = employee

Ellison = owner

In 2024, Ira Stoll asked: Who Will Be the Washington Post’s Next Owner?

Now the Post staff is worked up into a panic over a British former Wall Street Journal executive’s plan to bring in editors from the Wall Street Journal and the Telegraph to run the place. The supposed trigger is the British press’s use of “stolen” documents, but that seems like a pretext coming from the staff of a newspaper that published the Pentagon Papers. The real issue isn’t stolen documents (the Post staff didn’t mind when the New York Times published President Trump’s stolen tax return) but fear that the new Post management might curb the left-wing tilt. Whatever the motive, Bezos is under fire from his own staff, which is questioning his loyalty to the institution. One Post veteran editor and reporter, the biographer David Maraniss, posted on Facebook, “Jeff Bezos owns the Post but he is not of and for the Post.”

As I wrote back then, Bezos must be thinking, “I’m not? If I’m signing your paycheck, I’m ‘of and for the f***ing Post.’”

 And Ellison is now “of and for” CNN as well.
