    I cannot believe that you believe anything you wrote here. Monopolists
    are not heroes. He's not Elon Musk nor Warren Buffet. He doesn't have
    this kind of cash. He's using Bond villain criminal Arab oil monies, you
    know, the shitheads who provide the safe haven for Hamas leaders to live
    in comfort with huge piles of cash used to buy weapons and generally
    wreak havoc.

    How can this possibly go wrong?

    Trump directly interferred in the marketplace. How can that be bad for consumers?

    In truth, these megamergers must end. The world of Max Headroom is
    merely 10 minutes into the future if we aren't already there.

    Of course not, but as long as we're going to have them, I'd rather they not be leftists.

    You are just going to ignore that massive amount of cash he took from
    the worst of the worst Arab oil sheiks and that their pre-approved spin
    on world news will now creep into American media. CNN is now a
    subsidiary of Al Jazeera.

    Larry Ellison is not in control. He's just the stooge.

    Stop celebrating The Enemy's victory.

    One of the comments I saw on the exTwitters to a BSNOW talking head bemoaning
    the loss of their cultural hegemony was as hilarious as it was crude:

    "Karma isn't just a whore. She?s a blood-soaked hellbitch with a 12-inch
    strap-on and zero lube, and she's balls-deep in the collective asshole of
    every blue-check leftist propagandist who thought they'd own the culture
    forever."

    That's OK, it'll be Fox's turn soon.

    What goes around, comes around.

    If they turn CNN into Fox News (or even Fox News Lite like NewsNation)
    I'll just quit watching it. I've had no problem ignoring Fox News all
    these years.

    I would have wasted some money subscribing to the CNN app in January
    though, it's on a yearly basis and there's no refund just an option for
    it to not automatically renew. Lately I've had an annoying problem with
    the video/voice sync with it also, much time spent on troubleshooting
    with Roku agents hasn't helped.

    He's conservative? Didn't he buy the 007 franchise from the Brocolli
    widow, only to remove the gun from all Bond posterwork and announce
    the next Bond movie will have a "Bond They/Them"?

    That was Bezos (Amazon).

    Not to mention that Barbara is his daughter and Michael G. Wilson his
    stepson.

    Harry Saltzman sold his half to United Artists, the long-tine
    distributor. After the Heaven's gate fiasco, Transamerica sold UA to
    Kirk Kerkorian, who already owned MGM, and merged UA into MGM. 273
    bankruptcies later, MGM was sold to Amazon. Amazon bought out Barbara
    and Wilson and now owns 100% of the James Bond movie rights.

    None of this has anything to do with Larry Ellison and Skydance's
    acquisition of WB.

    When /Goldfinger/ was shown on TV, the audience heard "Miss Galore"
    and they heard "Pussy",

    Or as Connery would say, Pooosy.

    Oh, you tricked me into saying "Arab", when I'm assuming
    you mean Saudi Arabia, run by a family who are puppets
    of Israel.

    Racism noted.

    I don't know what context you stripped from this post,
    but apparently you said all Arabs are the same, and
    that you referred to "Arab" funding for something, as
    if Saudi Arabia referred to all Arabs.

    The Saudi Arabia dictating family has done many pro-Israel
    acts, like outlawing antisemitism, killing dissidents
    like the Washington Post reporter with the aid of
    Israeli intelligence, cancelling the Mecca pilgrimage a
    few years ago, ostensibly for Covid, but perhaps to send
    a good will gesture in their effort to strengthen the
    Israel-Saudi Arabia partnership, training terrorists to
    attack the West, etc.

    And Israel still most likely carried out a false flag operation last
    week and bombed a Saudi oil refinery (to draw them into the war against
    Iran).
