This is what extortion looks like.

[struth]

This is one of those "How far can the bully bully?" type of things. Will Netflix bow down, or stand up? It makes for cool drama.

Looks like they already bow downed to the threats..when they hired Rice

Bullshit.

AI Overview

In February 2026, former Obama and Biden administration official Susan Rice warned that corporations and other entities that have "taken a knee" or aligned themselves with President Donald Trump should expect to be "held accountable" if Democrats return to power.

WE have a new administration,
We need to look forward & try to not make more old mistakes,
or create new & different new mistakes.

You sound old school, intellectual conservative, which I obviously approve.
But, this is 2026. Surely you have no illusions of people (especially current administration) heeding that logic, right?

WOW, LOGIC! is any one from Any party trying that?
How can it get much worse, when AMERICANS hate other Americans,
Only because of what political party, they belong?

Has there ever been a more divisive prez of either party than the current one?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Not semantical, not even rhetorical.

well then comical as that is as relevant as rhetorical is to my claim

It is fact, after enabling friend support to get control of CBS/CBS news, and other media news outlets, not to forget being instrumental in having Colbert (historically and still #1 in his timeslot) kicked off the air. Here are other examples:

the fact is that your "proof" cites white liberal "industries" that removed a sitting U.S. president that was just elected in a landslide victory by the voters [another undeniable characteristic of white liberal politics], that I cannot claim that was an "administration" does not make they're actions any less dangerous, just means it cannot be used as the same way you used it...
and that is only one example of why your claim is semantical, another would be they [industrial media and those you cited] are not as old as the country so they could not be included in your assessment as most dangerous in history,
and ending slavery came the closest to destroying the nation, but everyone now can tell it was as necessary then as removing those who use "racism" to silence their critics today, something I also assume you intentionally neglected to mention.

Lincoln, no surprise you didn't admit/know that...and he was right...not a defense of your obsession with trump, just to show how little you know from reading newspapers, it wasn't even on your radar because of your obsession.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

The media in general have continued to speak out against the extreme overreach and tactics of this president's move to centralize control of the country

they don't like the taste of their own medicne...

, overriding the checks and balances designed by the framers of our constitution, with support of MAGA politician lapdogs of the president, his garnering control over media, news, communication (networks, news reporting, be it TV network, internet and print media) curtailing freedom of speech, by government control at forced cooperation of wealthy elites wanting to be granted favors for their contributions, not to forget the presidents close involvement in Epstein's kiddy sex/human trafficking ring. He and his administration have continued to attempt cover-up, stalling and redacting files ordered released by both houses of Congress. It is for these reasons, handling and brutal masked gestapo tactics of his DHS during the immigration crackdown, his job approval is in the toilet, and why there will be a (most likely monumental) blue wave in the November Mid-Term elections, due to his MAGA enablers in Congress. America is rejecting his majesty and efforts go against constitutional norms, and become supreme leader.

nothing the right hasn't leveled against its opponents for the last 60-70 years...the media gave birth to this and they knew what they were doing...without the media there are no more prosecutions and impeachments of just one party, the only thing buying/saving the left time now is that the right sees the media as an arm of democrats, the truth is the democrats are an arm of the white liberal political machine, they don't merely cover for them, they give the marching orders.

It depends on your perspective. From my perspective, the Democrat bureaucracy, funded at least in part by far-leftists like Soros, Singham, who fund organizations with a network of dark money organizations whose only business location is a P.O. box., has taken over the legacy media in America. They even control the so-called 'news' in this country. We have been under their control now for decades and they took over our government. It is the media today that has created a favorable environment for far-left, Marxist propaganda disguised as 'news' or 'Op-eds' or 'opinion' You seem to be the one supporting extortion. Yes we are for government take back of being fair and balanced. Funny though, The People have been running from the Democrat-Marxists as their media is now circling the drain as more folks see how unhinged with TDS they all are. Trump is not a dictator he is a teacher and we'd all best listen to him. This female hysteria the left has created around Trump is born of feminism and satan.

Ah, that Marxist, Bezos, eh?

 

[cnm]

Total bullshit. How exactly has Trump centralized control of the country? Do you think shutting down the border was centralizing control? Or maybe you think bringing law, and order to places like Minneapolis was centralizing power. Maybe you think the cleaning up DC is centralizing power. Why can’t you admit you just don’t like Trump?

Mainly by the threats of primaries and the vengeance of the mob.

 

[80zephyr]

See post #46.

Lol. Who decides who is accountable? The left?

 

[Meister]

"You are literally accusing the Trump administration of doing what the previous administration in fact did."
NO. I am accusing the Trump administration of going much further to restrict free speech than the Biden administration, or any other administration in the history of the United States.

You may be on to something with Trump limiting free speech, this message board
has started limiting free speech over the last few days. I'm connecting those dots.

WOW, LOGIC! is any one from Any party trying that?
Only Independents and maybe a few card-carrying Republicans, now disparaged as Rhinos, as far as I know. There could be some Democrats, but I could not swear to that, at least since the early 1980s.

I like it myself, but of course, I am not committed to one the two failed main political parties, or any other, for that matter.

Can't ask him that, parrots have no idea, if it's in tomorrows paper or on the TV then he'll be able to answer

Without the media, there will be no widespread dissemination of the inside or outside workings of our government, during any administration by any party and we will be under control, just like in any other totalitarian state.

This administration has no business meddling and exerting direct governmental influence on media and news organization, and particularly late night comedy. They have no business taking ownership (even limited non-voting ownership) in any private business entity or corporation in this country or any other. Not only is it wrong, by the 1st Amendment, it is the antithesis of free enterprise, and the most direct picking of winners and losers in the marketplace, we have ever seen. This administration is taking us down the wrong road for personal gain and control, and if successful, there may be no going back from totalitarian rule.

btw, the "highest rated in the time slot" thing is just regurgitated parrot food that has no meaning at all, its intent gives the socially educated reason to believe that because they are words it means something...e.g. if the three [or pick a number] worst shows in television history were on in the same time slot and one of them had the highest rating what would that tell us?

If the media was even handed, I would agree with you. They aren't. THEY are the ones creating a totalitarian state.

Remember Lois Lerner and the weaponized IRS? Susan Rice is warning Republicans its coming again.

Susan Rice's Dark Warning: MAGA Faces Retribution and a Weaponized Deep State Under Future Democrat Rule- 'They Better Be Ready for Subpoenas' (Video) | The Gateway Pundit | by Margaret Flavin

Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor and favorite trusted henchwoman, Susan Rice, made it clear that when Democrats are back in power, MAGA will be punished for daring to step out of line.

Whatever.

What Trump is doing is attacking the press

Do you understand that?

So you have no regard for freedom of the press either
