Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marco Rubio of Florida are teaming up to push the Biden administration to review the planned acquisition of Forbes magazine.

The pair sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning her that the planned buyout involves entities tied to Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, which previously tried to purchase the outlet.

"Forbes reportedly holds a significant market share among younger Americans, with tens of millions of monthly users," the lawmakers wrote. "This puts Forbes in a unique position to collect and store sensitive personal data on these populations and influence their opinions."

"Further, foreign powers could use Forbes' wide reach to influence voters during close elections," the letter continued, pointing out the magazine's recent reporting on the Uyghur genocide by Chinese authorities in Xinjiang.

In May, Axios noted that the top investor for the proposed Forbes buyout is 28-year-old Austin Russell, an American currently running an electric vehicle company, who is pledging $10 million for the magazine.

Don't do you own research.

My wounded heart...behind bars.

[Maris Crane]

If this happens, Forbes will be heading for a great ride on the Bud Light roller coaster.

[philman_36]

...behind bars, guarded by Democrats.

Forbes is just another rat propaganda source so fine with me if it is sold.

“It’s not like there would be much difference in the content, they already submit to the CCP and the CPUSA.”

Most of my family members, friends and myself cancelled this worthless publication over a decade ago. We felt that it was no longer of value to us.

[Grampa Dave]

“not a lot of articles about this.... supressed?”

Probably and how many other so called sacred publications have been working with the CCP behind closed doors?

Left school with a first class pass, (failed education system)
Started work but as second class. (unemployment/laborer jobs)
School taught one and one is two. (see below)
But right now, that answer just ain't true.

Inverted. Look again. Don't get diverted and get cross eyed.
From the eye of the beholder.
You really like that trick of the eye...

[philman_36]

[philman_36]

We finally stole something from them.

[philman_36]

The corruption was stolen, not the wheelbarrow.

[philman_36]

The wheelbarrow simply allowed for bigger corruption...
...once your pockets were full.

[philman_36]

I'll gladly accept all political donations at the door.
