there was a lot of swearing.\u00a0 So, I embedded a news station\u2019s coverage which was still kind of funny but shorter and without the swearing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

he\u2019s getting rid of their podcast.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m not the biggest fan of Jeff Bezos.\u00a0 I think he\u2019s a pretentious twit.\u00a0 But now he\u2019s become one of my favorite billionaire twits.\u00a0 Just thinking about the number of butt-hurt leftwing journalists and their friends who will soon be looking for new jobs in a journalism environment completely devoid of opportunities makes my mouth water.\u00a0 Now you might think I\u2019m an awful human being but I\u2019m not.\u00a0 I can tell because I\u2019m not happy about the tradesmen working on the printing presses and the other non-journalists who are losing their jobs.\u00a0 For them I feel sorrow.\u00a0 But the left-wing journalists are awful people who hate individuals like me and feel superior to ordinary people who don\u2019t believe in the social justice creed that the elites follow.<\/p>\n<p>So in the words of Barack Obama\u2019s favorite anti-white clergyman, \u201cThe chickens have come home to roost!\u201d\u00a0 Bari Weiss is gutting CBS News.\u00a0 Bezos is chloroforming the Washington Post and Disney is finally getting around to eliminating the crew that did a hatchet job on Lucas Films.\u00a0 But this is still just the tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 All of the cable and broadcast networks are being overhauled by people tasked with restoring them to profitability, if possible, or shuttering them if not.\u00a0 I\u2019m particularly curious to see what happens at MS NOW.\u00a0 Initially they unloaded complete deadwood like Joy Reid but the place is still stocked to the gills with overpaid leftist lunatics like Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough and Jen Psaki who each make millions of dollars. \u00a0I\u2019m waiting for at least one of these losers to get the heave-ho in 2026.\u00a0 In fact, I expect the whole shooting match to be closed down within eighteen months.<\/p>\n<p>So this exercise going on at Bezos\u2019s rag is sort of a template for the rest of the industry.\u00a0 Right-sizing these journalism companies will be a herculean task that may not even be possible.\u00a0 The business model for journalism was upended by the internet and literally no one knows how all of this will end up.\u00a0 But currently all of the people I hate in journalism sound like a chorus of scorched cats, the schadenfreude is amped up to eleven and it feels just wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>And just to make sure that things continue in the right direction, that paragon of journalistic incompetence, Don Lemon has picked this moment to become a martyr for the First Amendment (or I guess maybe against the First Amendment).\u00a0 But maybe sometime in the next few years one of the new or old news outfits will get its feet back on the ground and start selling actual honest to goodness objective facts at a price people are willing to pay.\u00a0 And that will be really be good news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched a few YouTube
