The Federal Communications Commission has greenlit Paramount’s petition to allow foreign investors to own at least 49.5 percent of its equity—should the media behemoth successfully acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

I’d love to see this smug asshole thrown in prison. The way douchenozzles like him pretend they are being above board on everything while gaslighting everyone.
Finally, I can buy Fox News and turn it into what it was meant to be: 24/7 news about foxes
I feel I would end up watching that more than I would be willing to admit
Get Middle-Eastern influence out of American Media. They’ve no business being involved.
Republicans and AIPAC dems are selling out every piece of America and its citizens at record pace since their polling is at record lows
Allowing the LEADERS OF 9/11 to CONTROL OUR NEWS is putting America First!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
Basically nothing could go wrong, because Israel and the oil lobby already owns all the media lol
trump is the FCC. Why show that bald, glasses guy?
Someone has to implement tiny-d donnie’s vibes, though.
Yes, we know he’s all-in on the actual cancel culture that cons crave, so donnie picked him for that reason.
He’s the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr.
More like seat warmer, am I right, folks?
Stick around, we have a great show for you tonight aaaaaand we just got cancelled for that joke I just did
A rose is a rose is a rose. trump makes the call, the bald glasses guy jumps.
Middle Eastern royalty, Putin, and Xi Jinping can now influence US elections just like the US can influence Canadian elections through Postmedia Network. The prize of national lawmaking now goes to the highest international bidder. Very consistent with Jabba the Hutt willing to have the oil industry keeping him “elected”.
So basically it’s an auction to the highest bidder for control over US media landscape.
Gonna be Saudi Arabia taking majority stakes there, no doubt about it.
If China wanted to they could drown the saudis out
China’s game may be to let the rest of the world eat each other and then step in to the chaos left.
It’s probably in their interest to continue having a lot of stupid Americans with money to buy their products while they hold our debt. Unless another market exists to replace us, we can’t be allowed to completely collapse. Not that it’s much better being in limbo.
While China definitely wouldn’t want to lose the US market entirely, I’m pretty sure at this point they consider the EU market a lot more important. Which is why they won’t allow Putin to nuke Kiev.
I agree, just pointing out that they could if they wanted to
Will it? How much money do they have after all the necessary oil infrastructure repairs? Or are they giving up on oil to become American oligarchs?
SA has majorly diversified their holdings over the last decade or so. They’re no longer solely dependent on Aramco (although still majorly). Specifically they own a lot of the global media landscape, both outright and through more… obscure means.
It’ll be a different middle eastern country taking over. One we cant mention.
Removed by mod
I bet it’s the saudis.
Great crowd to be friends with…
But wouldn’t allow a Chinese company to own a social media site operating in the US.
The Chinese didn’t paid enough
The bribes didn’t go through yet.
Side thought, I don’t think the current political structure of the US would suit china, if they ended up holding soft power over it. I think they’d purge people pretty quickly.
The harvested data wasn’t going to the ‘right’ places.
Capitalism is a big club, and the socialists ain’t in it.
Socialists? Where?
Nice. certain countries I can’t mention here can skip the middle man and just own our propoganda outlets directly.
Osama bin Laden is laughing his ass off!
He looks exactly like what you’d expect
