YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For decades, America’s biggest news organizations served as referees of democracy—imperfect, flawed, but powerful enough to hold leaders accountable. That era is ending. This video breaks down how far-right and MAGA conservatives didn’t just attack the media from the outside, but captured it from within. From mass layoffs at The Washington Post under Jeff Bezos, to the reshaping of CBS News under new leadership, to Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter/X, this essay traces how billionaire power, political alignment, and corporate self-interest have converged to weaken the institutions meant to check authoritarianism. Anthony Davis reacts.
