About this episode
The widely reported deal that will hand control of Paramount and its myriad properties — including CBS News — is less about business and more about cementing pro-Israel control over news content in the United States. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how with staunch Zionist Bari Weiss positioned to influence editorial direction, CBS's independence is finished — any critical coverage of Israel will be killed before it airs. Glenn Greenwald, James Li and others are cited to show how Weiss's Free Press is essentially a Zionist Substack being inflated into a $200M "asset" only because of its ideological value. They connect Larry Ellison's CIA-linked fortune, his massive donations to the IDF, and Netanyahu ties to explain how media consolidation doubles as a foreign policy loyalty pledge. Jimmy also ridicules Weiss's past smears of Tulsi Gabbard, her flimsy "independent" brand, and CBS executives folding after a Gaza segment. Plus segments on Steve Bannon ripping into Trump's recent tech bigwig dinner at the White House and sh*tlib commentator David Pakman's lies, obfuscation and misrepresentations about his payments from Democratic Party-aligned groups, Gaza whitewashing and email collection scams. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!
