How much of our media is partially owned by the Saudis these days?

I hear that it results in news items being dropped and films/tv scripts being shelved.

....”How much of our media is partially owned by the Saudis these days?”.....

Exactly and why I go outside our country to get a broader, and oftentimes clearer picture of what’s happening on the world stage.

Putin’s absolutely a nationlist, among other things, he will ‘control’ what his hands can to prevent another “takeover” of the Russian media ‘by outsiders’ as was done before when the Oligarchs and others took them over.

Everyone today understands whoever controls the media of a country will indeed control the perceptions of it’s own people...as well as how the politics and it’s representatives are seen and heard...and who.

Putin’s just doing what he’s always done...not give a rats butt if the rest of the world likes it or not when it comes to his country. That’s his game and he’ll play it at will....and there isn’t much push back from the people. They’re willing to tolerate what they might not like to keep him in power.....for now.

They’re taking over our think tanks with just a few million. Now any think tank will say what America’s enemies want.

We need an immediate return to free markets in the US and small government.
