Notably: Cary McMullen is a colleague from a previous century when we both worked at the Ledger in Lakeland, back when The Ledger was–like the News-Journal–a newspaper worth its big building, back before its entire operation was reduced to a few basement rooms. I happened by a Facebook post Cary made about the similar basement-bound debasing going on at CBS under the reign of the clickbaiting Bari Weiss: “Lyle McBride, the best editor I ever worked for, once recounted a run-in with a neighbor who was complaining about the “liberal media,” blah, blah. Finally Lyle said, “We don’t have a liberal media, we have a corporate media.” I thought about that after Scott Pelley’s dismissal from CBS News. I think we have arrived at a point where we have to find a way to insulate news organizations, not so much from political pressure as from the whims and prevailing winds of corporations. The only reason Pelley and 60 Minutes were on the firing line is because the once-independent CBS got swallowed by Paramount, which in turn is being swallowed by Skydance. Of course, independent news organizations are not immune to whims. You could argue that the Sulzbergers do have a particular slant that is reflected in the pages of the NY Times. Every publisher has the right to dictate his news organization’s philosophy, so long as fair journalistic standards are followed. But what we see happening at CBS is of a different order altogether. This is not (as Bari Weiss, et al claim) nudging the news operation into a different philosophy. It’s a corporate hatchet job as a result of naked pandering to a regime hostile to objective journalism. We have not quite arrived at a Third World situation where journalists are gunned down, but unless we can put journalists in an environment where they are insulated from the vagaries of corporatism, they’ll simply be turned into propagandists.” We are not yet being gunned down. But I needn’t tell you of the gunning down by other means: SLAPP lawsuits.

He was soon alone, despite his efforts and his lies to make his story more appealing. Without a thought, the young people had left. Alone once more. To no longer be listened to: that is what is terrible when you are old. He was condemned to silence and solitude. He was being given notice that he was soon going to die. And an old man who is going to die is useless, even troublesome and insidious. Let him go away. Failing that, let him hold his tongue: it is the least of considerations. And he suffers because he cannot hold his tongue without thinking that he is old. He got up with great care.
–From Camus’ L’envers et l’endroit (The Wrong Side and the Right Side, 1937).
