Emily Jashinsky is joined by Glenn Greenwald, Host of “System Update,” to discuss Bari Weiss’ announcement that The Free Press has been acquired by Paramount/CBS for $150 million. They compare the move to past examples of corporate media capture, question whether “independent within Paramount” has any real meaning and warn that commercial and political pressures will inevitably limit dissenting voices. They also discuss how The Free Press has handled censorship debates, especially around Israel, and suggest Weiss’ move to CBS shows no real ideological shift on that front. Emily and Glenn then discuss the news from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealing the Biden FBI targeted eight Republican senators’ personal cell phones, PLUS the modern-day Dixie Chicks-style controversy involving country music star Zach Bryan. Emily wraps up the show with a look at Taylor Swift’s new album and turn toward traditionalism. She highlights the song “Eldest Daughter” and argues it reflects a generational shift among millennial and Gen Z women who once rejected traditional norms but now crave family, marriage, and stability. She then critiques a New York Times article about “Gen Z divorce” and concludes Swift’s new album captures a cultural “vibe shift.”
