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.

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

Osama bin Laden is laughing his ass off!
But wouldn’t allow a Chinese company to own a social media site operating in the US.
The Chinese didn’t paid enough
The harvested data wasn’t going to the ‘right’ places.
Capitalism is a big club, and the socialists ain’t in it.
Socialists? Where?
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.
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.Indeed. I had a choice to make when broadband was first rolled out in my hometown. Pay for cable TV or internet. Didn’t have the capability for both, and figured that paying for a two-way communication service was a better deal, so the cable TV was cut in '99.
I used to watch the network nightly news on youtube but I noticed that the programming got shorter and shorter each year… as the commericals took more of the half-hour airtime… it was like… naaah… so quit it all and switched to news journals and independent sources.
Oh yeah, you could actually watch a movie on TV around then. Now all I think is STFU whenever I an advertisement for anything comes up. Adding in all the websites that are like sign up! make an account! pay us please, turn off your adblocker (on my phone I use a neutral DNS lol.)
Ask any other country, where US money is in every media.
Cries in Postmedia Network Canada Corp
Nice. certain countries I can’t mention here can skip the middle man and just own our propoganda outlets directly.
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
Ok, so what americans demand from ever other country is to gain access and control over their media. But its not ok for foreigners to do the same thing?
Fair point, but also a nontrivial amount of the blame for the rise of US fascism can be placed at the feet of an Australian media mogul.
actually not true. he renounced his australian citizenship when he discovered what the us is like. we were glad to see his backside fleeing. unfortunately he still projects his malignancy on us from new york.
Renouncing your citizenship doesn’t change your origin
Doesn’t change that Australia made him who he is. He was over 50 and trying to expand his media empire when he changed citizenship. It’s not like America turned a good Aussie bad.
Isn’t Rupert Murdock Australian?
He renounced his Australian citizenship in 1985, when he became a full US citizen.
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.
Citizens United not killing the nation fast enough?
Star Trek is gonna be weird
Assuming there still is going to be new Trek…
Late stage capitalism. Line must go up!
