  • Culture & Barbarism 8: Mainstream Media Coup
    Dec 9 2025

    In this episode with Dennis Broe and Special Guest Lee Camp, we discuss the new concentration and consolidation of right-wing media as it moves to capture mainstream (or center-right) media with the new dominance of Larry Ellison's proxy ownership of Paramount +, Tik Tok and attempted takeover of Warners. Lee Camp, who hosted his own weekly comedy news show for 8 years Redacted Tonight (and now on Unredacted Tonight) shares his insights and experience on censorship, censorship by omission, being de-platformed as well as on the continuing Neo-Con strategy of both Republicans and Democrats (we now have Hilary Clinton as Gaza-Genocide Denier) to wage perpetual war in Venezuela, the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere. More barbarism than culture, but that is what we are left with at the moment in a deteriorating West.
