David Ellison, Larry Ellison’s son just bought Paramont Global which includes CBS. Larry - 2nd richest man after Elon- is the biggest donor to IDF.

The Ellison are working on a deal (which would not pass under a Dem president) to buy Warner Brothers Discovery which includes CNN.

If it goes through - Larry Ellison - great friend of Netanyu and Trump will own both CBS and NBC.

Luckily- the majority of those under 40 get their news off podcasts & social media.

I prefer podcasts for my news as the news is covered in depth— most being an hour long and I can listen on my phone while doing my stuff. I like “Breaking Points” with Crystal Ball & Saagar. I really like Crystal as she it totally against the genocide and does not hold back.
