If you can buy the biggest names in media & production like Paramount & WBD and the purchases won't crush you, you take the added water and figure out ways to move numbers later. What we're seeing is the beginning of a technocracy, a small handful of elites owning communication. Social media (Musk, Zuckerberg), now they're buying entire media corporations. We're already seeing seeds of info being controlled as part of the CBS/Skydance merger and installing the right wing bytch to oversee CBS News

Then once you own the flow of information, just sell out the channels to the regime in charge and make boatloads as official state media. It's dystopian and nothing to do with sports but that's where we're headed

Conservatives are making a play to own the entire media landscape.

ESPN better start taking notice. Amazon and NBC are not playing. They are here and taking your spot. I hope ESPN steps up their coverage of the game because they remind of Taxis when Uber came along. They treated like their customers like shyt for so long that the new guy (Uber) came in and stole their lunch instantly. Now, They are out of business.

I think we have to make sure in effort of trying to get more access, (to) keep the integrity of, there’s two sides,” Jefferson said. “We don’t need to bring the viewer in too much. It’s like, ‘Now you have access to the showers.’ There is a space where you can stop access.”

Makes sense. He's doing CBS NFL Sundays and Westwood One for MNF.
