Exactly, it would have reversed Obummer FCC rules. The fight is still not over. The Socialists want control of all information outlets

Back to Trumps tweet, he is setting Big Media up. He is controlling the conversation.

These are publicly traded companies.

Sure they are, like Murdock was allowed to purchase the NY Times, and like the Washington Post was sold to a republican.

You are free to purchase their stock and change their perspective.

And, control always remains with liberals: control over content and control over staff, and down the line.

They'll take anybody's money, but not just anybody can control those "publicly" traded companies.

All private and public organizations are connected, one way or the other.

I was thinking the same thing.

If the President is a treasoncrat, 99.9% of all news media in this country act as the “official” government propaganda outlets.

It’s pathetic watching them try and out Pravda each other every night.

bingo

you have pbs...we will have pbs-2

No ? .... let's make a deal

Cable news is not a free market. You dont pick and choose which channels you want want. They come in a package. You pay for CNN and MSNBC whether you like it or not!

DOJ should crush ATT and Comcast.

No vertical control over the dissemination of news and information!

[Gene Eric]

>> You pay for CNN and MSNBC whether you like it or not!

Well, CNN may soon be an ATT property, and MSNBC is Comcast. Would really suck if you subscribe to both providers.

We already have PBS and NPR. President Trump should make use of them.

[DesertRhino]

There already are a few. They are called “CNN” and “MSNBC”.

[eddie willers]

Make them scream that news should be free of government funding.

Ohhhh....good parry.

[cableguymn]

They already do. Pbs and npr.
