       Some of the best commentary I've read:"I canceled my Disney+ subscription last night, along with hundreds of others — maybe even thousands. It felt good, but I’m not dumb enough to think that it will *do* any good. I canceled my Amazon Prime subscription when Jeff Bezos dismantled the Washington Post. I cancelled my Spotify subscription years ago over Joe Rogan’s anti-vax comments. It made no difference because these are billionaires making billion-dollar deals, and my monthly subscription is not going to put a dent in it.""Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers still have jobs because Comcast — the owner of NBCUniversal — has not yet needed FCC approval for anything. But if and when they do, Comcast will throw Fallon and Meyers directly under the bus, too, because at this point, they make less for the corporation than it would cost them to fight off the federal government."https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/they-will-come-after-saturday-night-live-next.phph/t @bicmay #JimmyKimmel #Disney #uspol #censorship

       @jeridansky @bicmay @briankrebs Media consolidation makes this so much easier.  Mega-corps are very dependent on a favorable regulatory environment, which makes them vulnerable to coercion by a government that doesn’t believe fairness is a virtue.Companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have an enormous attack surface, and there’s only a handful of them that need to be coerced in order to change the landscape.
