Paramount Buys Bari Weiss’s the Free Press for $150 Million

[Nordberg]

Media ownership by big corporations isn’t new. That’s been the case for a long time across all networks (hell, NBC is the National Broadcast Corporation).

My point was about whether there’s room and demand in today’s legacy media for genuinely diverse viewpoints, not about who owns what.

The owners are controlling the content.

And the wealthy keep buying up more and more media. This is being fair and balanced like Fox. The fact that legacy media is still being gobbled up by the ruling class does not bother the right. It's called winning.

Agreed. Soon the super-media conglomerates will control what we see and hear in an effort to manipulate what we think and do.

Who are you mad at here? Are you mad at Weiss for taking the money and role at CBS instead of staying independent, or at CBS for wanting her voice in the first place?

It's not just Weiss. It's the monopoly upon media content. MAGA morons whine about the liberals controlling the media when the reality is that it's the alt-right capitalists who are snapping it up.

I'm truly surprised you have no problem with this.

The owners are controlling the content.

And they don't allow for diversity of thought or heterodox viewpoints. We'll see if this changes that.

SOON?

It is not 1985.

Isn't that the point of a monopoly?
