Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:

When I see comments like '47 is a Russian asset' I tend to discount claims with no verifiable confirmation.
OTOH, there is something to be said for a preponderance of evidence.
'47 = Krasnov' evidence is certainly prepondering. Or maybe it's just that 47 profits BIGLY from selling out Ukraine....
