I was surprised that Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” had a staff person call show sponsors to ask permission to make fun of them:
There was a certain person who was in charge of if the show wanted to make fun of a corporate sponsor or someone under the umbrella of one of the corporate sponsors, this person who worked for the Daily Show would call that company and try to convince them it’s cool to be made fun of. It’s okay to be made fun of on the Daily Show. The clear implication was if that company says no, it’s not getting on there. So imagine the level of corporations that are somehow tied to Viacom, Comcast, all of those, every entity. If they don’t want to be made fun of on the Daily Show, then they’re not going to be. Well, then the Daily Show can’t critique half of what owns this country.

CiteIt becomes like an advanced form of footnotes that works across:

. What a disgraceful thing to say!
No, the director of Zone of Interest did not disavow his Jewish identity at the Oscars (Vox)

In Racket News, Matt Taibbi described a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” in which “TV News Won’t Identify Defense Lobbyists” who are identified by their former government titles.
In the Ukraine War, former General Jack Keane went on Fox News, “applauding $800 million” in spending, “saying areas like the Donbass are very conducive to armor operations
, which surely has nothing to do with the fact that he served for years as chair of armored vehicle maker AM General.”

Substack is a new type of network. We have been called a media company, a newsletter platform, and a social network, but none of those really fit.
Substack is a subscription network. We think subscription networks will play a major role in the internet’s next chapter. They represent a step forward from social networks.
