What was said
"I wonder if the real issue is just the purchase of CBS and the appointment of Barry Weiss. What I mean by that is when you have Trump allies buying up mass media, which I mean, we're talking about Paramount, we're talking about some of the most viewed television in the country, and they start removing the left ideology stuff, not all completely, and the reports start reflecting more of a moderate worldview, it's harder to muster up revolutionary leftists."
Host Tim Pool theorizes that Trump-aligned purchases of major media properties like CBS/Paramount and TikTok by the Ellisons have dramatically reduced leftist activism by deprioritizing political content. He suggests this media consolidation explains why there are no longer large-scale protests over police shootings or immigration enforcement actions. Pool claims industry sources confirm TikTok specifically stopped promoting activist content after the acquisition.
