To the editor: David Ellison’s PR marketing campaign attempting to color himself as misunderstood comes throughout as laughably disingenuous (“Paramount’s David Ellison says critics don’t get his politics,” Aug. 4). His public overtures to President Trump and his lack of pushback on his father’s distinguished assist of Trump communicate volumes about his politics.
The truth that Bari Weiss was appointed to the important thing place of editor in chief at CBS Information belies the declare that Ellison makes about being dedicated to information that’s factual and unbiased, not partisan.
Weiss’ personal historical past with the so-called Free Press platform, her unfitness for the CBS position and her interference with journalists and tales at “60 Minutes” clarify that she is imposing a political agenda and bias. That undoubtedly displays Ellison’s personal political orientation. All of this makes his rule over these information entities unacceptable.
Giving Ellison go away to increase with additional media and leisure firms permits him much more management within the media sphere already too dominated by such rich and partisan people who can affect what the general public sees and hears.
The consolidation of media platforms into extra monopolistic entities can also be counter to the purpose of making a various and vibrant group of media gamers offering the general public with reliable information and cultural programming.
