Republicans and AIPAC dems are selling out every piece of America and its citizens at record pace since their polling is at record lows

So basically it's an auction to the highest bidder for control over US media landscape.

But wouldn't allow a Chinese company to own a social media site operating in the US.

Allowing the LEADERS OF 9/11 to CONTROL OUR NEWS is putting America First!

-LITERALLY Republicans!

Osama bin Laden is laughing his ass off!

Finally, I can buy Fox News and turn it into what it was meant to be: 24/7 news about foxes

Nice. certain countries I can't mention here can skip the middle man and just own our propoganda outlets directly.

Basically nothing could go wrong, because Israel and the oil lobby already owns all the media lol

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.

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.

trump is the FCC. Why show that bald, glasses guy?

This just means that no one watches TV news anymore. God knows, its been 27 years since I have.

I bet it's the saudis.

Great crowd to be friends with...

Isn’t Rupert Murdock Australian?

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.

Late stage capitalism. Line must go up!

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 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

Ask any other country, where US money is in every media.

He looks exactly like what you’d expect

Star Trek is gonna be weird

Assuming there still is going to be new Trek…

Citizens United not killing the nation fast enough?

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.

wow

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?

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.

The framing of the article is a bit odd. Fox was owned by Australians and as far as I know, Newscorp, the news side of Fox, still is.
