Tim Dillon responds and wants to be in bed with Miriam Adelson, David Ellison and others now.

Bari Weiss has been shopping her start-up news outlet The Free Press for as much as $250 million, according to a report.

Weiss, who quit the New York Times opinion page over its woke policies and launched the outlet in 2022, had reportedly met with Skydance Media CEO David Ellison at the high-powered Allen & Co. “summer camp for billionaires” in Sun Valley, Idaho, earlier this month.

Ellison, the son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison, was reportedly interested in buying The Free Press as Skydance continues to await regulatory approval of its $8 billion merger with CBS parent Paramount.

Dillon is simultaneously the best talk show host and best comedian working today. Nobody else can do what he does.

What does this even mean? It's not a "blog".

I like the Free Press. I’d hate to see Bari sell out. She is what makes it unique.

His standup is actually pretty bad but he’s a great podcaster.

I guess I need to pay more attention to him. He seems like a sloppier, trashier version of Bannon.

I think Shane Gillis is the meta comic of toxay. Your boy does have some takes though. Definitely had his finger on the pulse of current evemts.

Yeah, Larry Ellison overpaying for whatever this outlet is doesn't really help put to rest that certain people pull the strings here.

Is he pissed his show isn't worth anything or making fun of someone interested in paying $250mm for a loony toon show? DISCLAIMER - I never heard of him and know as little about Bari Weiss as where she used to work - that's it!
