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 bet it’s the saudis.
Great crowd to be friends with…
Basically nothing could go wrong, because Israel and the oil lobby already owns all the media lol
Why would we get upset over foreign investment but not domestic investment?
It’s not like either of them have our best interests at hand.
Nice. certain countries I can’t mention here can skip the middle man and just own our propoganda outlets directly.
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!
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.
It’ll be a different middle eastern company taking over. One we cant mention.
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.
I agree, just pointing out that they could if they wanted to
Isn’t Rupert Murdock Australian?
He renounced his Australian citizenship in 1985, when he became a full US citizen.
But wouldn’t allow a Chinese company to own a social media site operating in the US.
Capitalism is a big club, and the socialists ain’t in it.
The harvested data wasn’t going to the ‘right’ places.
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.
China’s been pushing down hard on the movie industry for decades. The majority of AMC executives put friendliness with China in the bio on their profiles. Disney capitulates to China to the extent that they’re willing to remake posters excluding african americans.
Osama bin Laden is laughing his ass off!
Come on Canada, you know what to do.
Actually I’m not sure it’s worth it. It’s still giving money to Americans. But it would be funny to be able to inundate them with propaganda of our choice.
Hmmm. Canada could buy 49% of Fox. Some sympathetic American group 2% and slowly make it sane.
That’s some maple covered neighbourly propaganda there eh, we’ll get you spruced up in no time.
You’ll get to know the log jammers waltz whether you like it or not
If you were writing the story of the end of the American Empire you would be right around the part where leadership was selling out to the highest bidder to try to save themselves.
Save themselves from what? As the country continues to deteriorate, the parasites profiting from its downfall will just go somewhere else. They can afford it.
It’s the dumbasses that keep supporting these con artists that are going to suffer.
So not JUST Israel? Let’s be real. This is in reality just a way to legalize Zionist interest. It’s not like they’re gonna let the CCP start a media station
This just means that no one watches TV news anymore. God knows, its been 27 years since I have.
This just means that no one watches TV
newsanymore. I have free cable, long story, and I still don’t watch it.
