When I saw your post about a conservative billionaire buying up the MSM and I thought you were silly. I though the market caps were too high but I ran the numbers and it is doable for a few of those.
AOL-Time Warner 3.5B
NewsCorp 10B
Clear Channel 3.5B

The others are probably too big for all but the richest of superbillionaires.
Disney 130B
Viacom 38B
Comcast 106B

The other problem you have with buying those is that it would be a hostile takeover. The liberal billionaires who own it would bid you up and you would be paying way more than the current price even if you could win.
