Media Matters

* The Jeff Bezos-Washington Post honeymoon is obviously over. It’s what happens with an owner-order cancellation of a (Harris) presidential editorial endorsement followed by resignations and layoffs. But, no, it’s not yet the Amazon Post.

* Oligarch update: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have scaled back and removed content-moderation tools against misinformation on X and Facebook. Trump heartily approves. No coincidence that Reich saluter Musk and Zuckerberg, along with DEI opponent Jeff Bezos, had fealty-embracing, ring-side seats at Trump’s inauguration.

* Jim Acosta is leaving CNN. Trump, if not viewers, will be pleased.

* Hollywood helper: Trump has named “Special ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California.” Those “ambassadors” are Sylvester Stallone, Jon Voigt and Mel Gibson. Only surprise: Roseanne Barr didn’t make the cut.

* TikTok has 170 million users in the U.S. Trump has more than 14 million followers on the controversial app.
