This is one of those things that I already knew was true, but seeing it so blatantly displayed makes me feel like like I am finding out about it for the first time.

“It’s just a script whats the problem lol” the problem is that Fox, CNN, CBS, and all the other channels repped here, despite claiming to be different companies with different viewpoints, all had the exact same script, word for word, to push the exact same viewpoint that smaller, independent news outlets are Fake News and “A Threat To Our Democracy.” The fact that they have scripts isn’t the problem. The problem is they all, each and every one, have the exact same script down to the letter and in some cases the fucking inflection, which basically reads “small news stations are untrustworthy and a Threat to your Way Of Life, only trust Us, We Are Verified.”

These are all clips from TV stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, a right wing company that’s been buying up TV stations, and is currently in the process of trying to buy up Tribune’s portfolio of TV stations, which would give them unprecedented ownership of TV stations.

The networks like NBC, CBS, ABC, et al only own a handful of the TV stations that carry their branding and those are all in the bigger cities like Los Angeles and New York, the rest of them are called “affiliate stations” and they have agreements to carry their primetime programming and the use the network branding, but they can be owned by anybody.  In the past it would be some local dude like the guy who owns a car dealership.

However, since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, there has been a trend of large media conglomerates buying up TV stations across the country.  Sinclair in particular has been buying up TV stations in the smaller areas and mostly doing so below the radar of most people.

Sinclair however, has fairly far right views and forces any station they own to air these “must run” segments to push these far-right views.

and they’ve been trying to buy up Tribune for a while, but they were stymied by the FCC who were blocking them.  But ever since Pai became chairman of it, he rewrite the rules on media consolidation purely to benefit Sinclair so they could buy Tribune.

Hi Cassie! I recently finished Lm and I'm very excited for Los, I heard recently that Ty gets a love interest in book two and was wondering is there anything you could tell us about them? P.s I love your books!

I don’t think I said that exactly! Definitely Ty does get a love interest, though I cannot say who or when or how. But expect a slow burn type subtle build up.

I bet it's kit

Hello Cassie! You are my favourite writer in the whole world and I am really excited for the Lord of Shadows release, because your writing, storylines and twists make my heart desire to consume the pages of each and every book of yours. They have and still do help me through dark times and I can't thank you enough. Anyway my question is if we will see any more of Will Herondale? Thank you in advance! Stay awesome!

Definitely, as he’s the father of two of the protagonists of Last Hours! You get to see him as a hot older guy if you’re into that. :)

Happy to finally share the jacket copy with you since it was written last summer!

last hours snippet

Will had been sitting on the floor, the rug bunched up under his feet, with his back against Tessa’s legs. He looked up when Jem came in, and Jem, in his Silent Brother robes, went over to Will and sat down beside him. He drew Will’s head against his shoulder, and Will held the front of Jem’s robes in his fists and he cried. It was the first time it had ever occurred to James that his father might cry about anything. — Chain of Gold, The Last Hours Book 1

There’s the hottie you were with last night. The red-headed Ansel Elgort.

a snippet from the Lost Book of the White for V-day

The two of them went straight for the bed, kissing and pulling and stumbling over each other, nearly falling over in the process. They tumbled onto the mattress in a tangle and clawed their way toward the headboard, hands in each other’s hair, on each other’s bodies, stirring each other to incandescent life.

Magnus tore himself away from Alec’s lips and yanked futilely at the knots that kept the bedsheet looped around the Shadowhunter’s body. “How did you tie this thing on?” he growled. 

Alec, lips kiss-swollen and eyes dazed with desire, didn’t seem able to respond — he just went for the buttons on Magnus’ shirt with shaking fingers before eventually giving up and just tearing the garment apart down the middle, sending buttons flying across the room. Finally, more out of frustration that expediency, Magnus flicked his wrist at the bedsheet as if shooing away a fly and sent the entire thing fluttering somewhere over the Indian Ocean.

Alec raised his head to watch the sheet disappear. When he looked back at Magnus, the warlock was gazing down at him with a deep seriousness in his gold-green eyes.  “You spend your entire life looking out and sacrificing for people,” Magnus said, and his gentle fingers traced their way along Alec’s bare torso, making him shiver. “It’s your turn to just lay back and relax …”

LoS snippet

Kieran gave a soft, impatient noise and flopped down on the bed, among the sheets. The blankets were already flung onto the floor. With his black hair tangled against the white linen, his body sprawled out with no regard for human modesty, Kieran looked even more of a wild creature. “Come with me, then,” he said. “Stay with me. I saw the look on your face when you saw the horses of the Hunt. You would do anything to ride again.”

Suddenly furious, Mark leaned down over him. “Not anything,” he said. His voice throbbed with low anger.

Kieran gave a slight hiss. He caught at Mark’s shirt. “There,” he said. “Be angry with me, Mark Blackthorn. Shout at me. Feel something.”

Mark stayed where he was, frozen, just above Kieran. “You think I don’t feel?”

The official new opening to shadowhunters season two has been released and it looks amazing! 

[cassandraclare]

Watched the first episode of season 2 onset with the cast, but it didn’t have the credits attached yet. I like the redesign of the runes for this season. Snappy!

“Ice Like Fire” by sararaasch

This took much longer than I thought it would. I think I went slightly overboard. If you look closely you can see that I animated each of the seasons individually.

Guys. It’s a FINISHED. TRILOGY.

Having trouble forming coherent words right now, so I gotta speak in gif.

Just…thank you. All of you. Everyone who has loved and supported this trilogy. When FLN comes out this Sept, know every time I see it, I’ll get all teary thinking of my crazy delightful Winterians and how you guys have made this trilogy into something Baby Writer Sara never dared hope would happen.

So. Yeah. Crying. I love you guys.
