media history, bad guy, grrrr, potentially very anger-triggery 

Been reading up on the history of CBS and got to this son of a bitch: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_T.

This guy got filthy rich and powerful by willfully undermining the sophistication of American culture. This country's intellectual rot didn't magically start in 2016, and it was bastards like Aubrey who nurtured it for profit.

(The whole thing is reminding me of Craig Baldwin's gonzo found-footage documentary Spectres of the Spectrum...)

Oh, @emanate among others, if you haven't already seen Spectres of the Spectrum, you should at least note that the heroic revolutionary organization in it is named "TV Tesla." <3

Apparently the whole thing is streamable here: impakt.nl/channel/videos/curat But be warned, folks, like all Craig Baldwin films, it's a bit rough going. :)
