Media companies must punish Trump critics if they want their mega-mergers approved.
archive.ph

When “Last Week Tonight” won an Emmy on Sunday, Daniel O’Brien’s acceptance speech touched on something many intuited when Stephen Colbert’s show was canceled in July — at precisely the moment Paramount was trying to get the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission to approve its merger with Skydance. “We are honored to share [the Emmy] with all writers of late-night political comedy,” O’Brien said, “while that is still a type of show that’s allowed to exist.”

It won’t be allowed to exist for long. Sunday’s Emmy Awards were creepy and subdued for good reason: Broadcast television, as it has existed for decades, is coming to an end.
