If I understand correctly CNN is what he is after.

The Reich wants full control of all corporate media.

All the info needed to cancel both netflix and paramount plus. The Ellison family is evil and gives billions to drumpf

Cancelled last year. Didn't need any further info than what was already available.

We really need reps and a president who will do some serious permanent monopoly busting.

It is imperative — capitalism has captured democracy.

This basically kills the new James Gunn led DC film universe. Ellison will have his head as the first order of business.

But we get Melania 2.

Also, DC is lame, it always has been.

Generally having propagandists in charge of what will be one of the largest media conglomerates. Probably more bribes, I mean documentaries, for those in the administration. I expect Bari to be put in charge of CNN, kneecapping another source of opposition media for this administration. That’s in addition to the further consolidation of media (which would have been a problem regardless of who bought it).

CNN was bought out by a trump loyalist years ago, but their reporting has been shit for ages. all mainstream US media has been compromised for decades at this point.

It'll be fine, eventually. They will lose audience regardless of what they do ... Probably accelerate it.

Fascist cinema. Influencing opinion by ending liberal Hollywood, sneak misinformation into scripts like writers of Landman have been doing for the oil and gas industry.

paramount+ is basically on life support because of trek, and they already losing on that front, they cancelled quite a few shows already, also the fact that nutrek is quite bad already.
