What do you call it when a convicted felon gets to decide who stays on TV? Censorship by lawsuit—and it’s already starting to happen.
This week on the Find Out Podcast:
We’re joined by journalist and Don’t Look Up screenwriter David Sirota to unpack how Donald Trump is weaponizing the legal system to bully newsrooms into silence—starting with CBS, ABC, and now even Rupert Murdoch. This isn’t just about hurt feelings. It’s a coordinated, authoritarian attack on the First Amendment, and the corporate press is letting itself get bullied into submission.
We dig into:
Trump’s media lawsuits as intimidation tactics
Why CBS might’ve fired Stephen Colbert to appease Trump
How billionaires are using SLAPP suits to silence critics
Along the way:
David explains how Colbert’s firing fits into Trump’s merger leverage
Kris torches the tech bros turning social media into fascist playgrounds
Zak, Luke, and Rich explore why fearlessness—not moderation—wins elections
💥 “When these media companies cut deals with Trump, they're supposed to be the defense. Instead, they’re encouraging an attack on free speech.” —David Sirota
