What a fitting analogy to what is happening to newspapers and other media outlets throughout the United States! It is truly scary how the newspapers, radio & television stations, ( and the entertainment industry, for that matter ) are owned and controlled by only a handful of people.
To the shear Con, M-B and all other Trumpli-Cons; A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no “reasonable viewer” takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously. That was also the defense of Sidney Powell, that what she said about Dominion voting could not be believed by any rational person. You ultra-right wingers just don’t realize that you’re being scammed. Why don’t you send me 100.00 and I will send you the ultimate Q-anon book that ties it all together.
And sometimes it’s the little guy that buys the big operation. I mean, who ever heard of WorldCom before they bought MCI? I certainly hadn’t heard of them (for what that’s worth).
The results were still the same as the buyouts of the little guy by the big operation… I was working for MCI when it happened (though not for very long after that) and WorldCom gutted MCI then they both pretty much disappeared. Not too long ago I did a quick search on MCI (just out of morbid curiosity) and found they are now a subsidiary of Verizon (like that’s an improvement) and WorldCom seems to have gone away completely, letting just the MCI name resurface under their new overlords.
The new owners are Airedale’s to a great fortune. The tongues aren’t all that’s wagging on Wall St. But rumor has it that the type setters are all Irish and the delivery boys are snarling foreigners that are suspected of being a bunch of terrier-ists.

It stinks when a business goes to the dogs like that.

It’s sort of too late to worry about it. But some of you will probably spin off a Reddit channel or something.

Perhaps the incoming cats will leave some of the old canid management team in place. The place will thus be…..“REIGNING CATS AND DOGS”.;D

There is going to be a communication breakdown between the editor and his reporters. They don’t even speak the same language.
