So, is that good or bad? After all the reverse happened when Paul Ryan bought into Fox and flipped it to just another Leftist media outlet.

The only way to stop the leftist media is to buy them out.

I certainly hope he’s doing so to turn it to the right somehow.

It almost worked for Elon Musk and Twitter.

But enough of the old guard is still left on staff that the shadow-banning of conservatives is happening again.

So, it is an Indian news outlet? With just 7%, will he be able to replace staff with Indian H1B?

This is what the wealthy radicalized Marxists did. They bought out the major media companies so they could control the narrative.

I like to see their tactics used against them like this.

It would be great if someone bought out Disney so it was no longer a woke perv shathole.

Buzzfeed is a flaming dumpster fire. They’ll go broke if they don’t do something.

If he’s not planning on making changes, then this is a very bad investment.

“Less than 8%?”

Obviously, VR is a very shrewd dude. 7.7% may be enough to control the Board as is. Often it is - you don’t need 51% to do that. Or, it may just be a start, and he plans to accumulate more.

Paul Ryan is a board member with no real ownership.

This looks like a hostile takeover.

Conservatives need to go buy Disney up and flip its board.
