"Trumpism wants to capture your attention. And it won't hesitate to colonize, with the approval of its leader, all the world's main information outlets, streaming media and video game platforms. Emerging from the effervescent magma of the MAGA universe, a group of powerful businessmen are in orbit around Trump, fattening his businesses and helping him expand the reach of his ultraconservative rhetoric."
"The move, confirmed this Monday, comes a week after Trump ordered the creation of a U.S. version of TikTok, which will be managed by like-minded businesspeople. Weiss, a former opinion editor at The New York Times, is highly critical of traditional media and the Democratic Party. Her appointment heralds an ideological shift at the prestigious TV network, one of the symbols of American journalism and home of the legendary Walter Cronkite, considered a beacon of journalistic objectivity."
Trumpism aims to capture global attention and colonize major information outlets, streaming services and video game platforms. Powerful businessmen emerging from the MAGA ecosystem are backing ventures that enrich Trump-connected businesses and amplify ultraconservative rhetoric. Paramount Skydance purchased The Free Press for approximately $150 million and installed Bari Weiss, a self-declared anti-woke critic, as editor-in-chief of CBS News.

The appointment signals an ideological shift at a major network and highlights the vulnerability of the communication and entertainment industry to politically aligned corporate consolidation.
