The mere whisper that Elon Musk might join David Ellison's investor syndicate for the Warner-Paramount colossus, potentially scooping up a stake in both CNN and CBS News, has thrown the grand high priests of the progressive press into a state of magnificent, fluttering apoplexy. To contemplate the sheer, unadulterated panic on the left is to envision a flock of startled hens confronted by a particularly wealthy, eccentric fox. For years, the professional moralists of the mainstream media have treated CNN as their own private cathedral, a sacred pulpit from which to lecture the domestic peasantry on their civic sins. The catastrophic prospect of the world’s richest tech oligarch stepping in to help bankroll the enterprise, fresh off his gleeful, sledgehammer dismantling of their old digital playground, sends a shiver straight down the collective spine of the entire liberal intelligentsia. They do not fear the loss of journalistic integrity, for that vanished long ago; they fear the terrifying spectacle of a man who refuses to read their script suddenly holding the purse strings, turning their grand fortress of orthodoxy into yet another theater for his own amusement. Come forth and opine.
