Hot take: News corps should not belong to billionaires. I don't think we as a society want that. Especially when the same billionaires are also heavily involved in politics, either through affiliation or because they donated millions of dollars to candidates, directly or indirectly.

Society would be better off controlling all major media democratically.

So I am guessing Jeff Bezos, then obviously Elon. Maybe Bloomberg? Who's the last guy?

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Larry Ellison.

You should learn more about Larry Ellison and non-actor no-talent David Ellision who gets to ruin TV. You don't hate them enough yet.

Nah. I respect the hussle, but I don't want to be informed on every shitty person. It's exhausting.

Well, actually they can’t do much with their free speech either, because they need to play nice with whomever is in the office…
