I’ve been horrified by this subtle takeover of the media as well. My dream would be for this story to be shared on some other platform. I keep praying Ellison will not be able to take over WBD.

Are you familiar with Blue Sky? There's lots of media awareness on that platform.

Yes, you’re right. I was thinking of a wider platform, but it seems that the story of bari Weiss’s perfidy has spread throughout the media and made so many folks anxious about what the story would have revealed .

Then the reporter, [Sharyn Alfonsi] made a very good point: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Brava!

Very chilling piece. I, too, am suspicious of the censorship and corruption .

All extremes are ominous. We can’t become a nation that wow’s to a king’s whim. But we also need to be cautious about becoming so laissez fair that we have the freedoms of some infringing in the freedoms of others.

No extremes!!! please. From either side.
