Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

America “first” is always America last, always
What are you talking about? Americans are going to make big profits off this
I don’t really count the Epstein class as Americans. But that’s just me.
Nothing more American than kidnapping children to feed them to the Reich
America .51th
Not if foreign investors control US media.
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.
Late stage capitalism. Line must go up!
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.
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.

China won't be invited to the auction. Maybe we'll let in South Korea or India, though.

auction to the highest bidder
Literally how media ad space has always been sold.
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
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.

Star Trek is gonna be weird
Assuming there still is going to be new Trek…
Citizens United not killing the nation fast enough?
Basically nothing could go wrong, because Israel and the oil lobby already owns all the media lol
Who else is going to buy in?
The Saudis? They don't have any money right now. The Dutch maybe? Brazil?
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!
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

wow
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.

I bet it's the saudis.
Great crowd to be friends with...
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".
Isn’t Rupert Murdock Australian?
He renounced his Australian citizenship in 1985, when he became a full US citizen.
This just means that no one watches TV news anymore. God knows, its been 27 years since I have.

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
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.

Get Middle-Eastern influence out of American Media. They've no business being involved.
Ask any other country, where US money is in every media.
