Great piece on the weak-kneed response to authoritarian pressure by the WHCA. They probably felt by surrendering a little they would keep their power. But as you point out their malleability eroded much of that very power. This is an obvious echo of Jeff Bezos’ conjoining with the Trump administration to some degree, and censoring his own journalists. At the inauguration when he sat in front of cabinet members with Musk and Zuckerberg this was a clear message that fascism had won. Money and the power of money counts more than process and consensus. One definition of fascism, and it seems there are a few, is the union of government with corporations. We had it before to some degree but now it is in the open. Government is there not to serve the people but to stabilize and increase the wealth and power of those who are morbidly rich already. TrumpCoin anyone?
