@jgo4justice.bsky.socialIt’s funny, because I read your amazing work all the time but for some reason I wasn’t following you until this spot-on running post appeared in my feed.

@freepress.bsky.socialReposted by @jgo4justice.bsky.social"We're concerned about what the Ellisons have already done since taking over Paramount and CBS. They are willing to use their money and power to censor the news, to tear down stories that they or the president don't like. We deserve better." - @jgo4justice.bsky.social
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialHope you’re enjoying the woods. 🌲 🌳
@1acommittee.bsky.socialReposted by @jgo4justice.bsky.socialAnd so it begins, with thanks to CA electeds who caved to the oligarchs. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @robbonta.bsky.social @xavierbecerra.bsky.social @mayor.lacity.gov
So afraid of threatened job loss they backed 100% guaranteed job loss. 🥀
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialAnd here's the job loss announcement on day 1 of the shitty Paramount/Warner Bros. merger.
Fear not. The billionaires will slash a bunch of jobs for their own selfish aims, but they'll do it "respectfully."
This is what Newsom et al. folded to. Billionaire capture.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialHere's more on the challenges we face with billionaires taking over our media system, and how Free Press will overcome those challenges.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialBillionaire oligarchs should not control what we can and can't hear in the media.
A diverse and independent media is critical to a free society.
That's what @freepress.bsky.social will keep fighting for as the censors at Paramount close their merger with Warner Bros.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialRight back at you, William.
@jgo4justice.bsky.social@freepress.bsky.social and #BlocktheMerger allies have worked tirelessly to challenge the Ellison family takeover of Warner Bros.
This week we lost, and I've been reflecting on the unfair advantage that billionaire oligarchs have in our media and our politics.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialThe deal hasn’t even closed yet and already the job losses have commenced.
Mind you, these folks are well off and will be fine.
But thousands of middle class and blue collar workers are about to lose their livelihoods.

@jgo4justice.bsky.socialCorrupt FCC chair Brendan Carr the Censorship Czar is unqualified to speak on what is "normal."
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialYes, we’re disappointed in this outcome.
And @freepress.bsky.social won’t stop working to pass enduring media policy that funds and diversifies our media and safeguards its independence.
@jgo4justice.bsky.social@seth-stern.bsky.social was right there with us! 🫶🏼
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialThe parties will have until Monday at noon to respond to us as well as @booker.senate.gov and @lulacorg.bsky.social who also voiced important concerns.
@jgo4justice.bsky.socialSpecial thanks to my co-counsel @brendanbenedict.bsky.social who lead our brief. And to the hundreds of thousands of people who have shared their concerns with us. We fight for you.
