This is illegal. Congress long ago passed a limit on TV station ownership of reaching no more than 39% of American households. The merged company would reach 80%, shrinking news staffs and raising prices. Eight states have sued to block it. www.npr.org/2026/03/20/n...

More than 50 members of the Nixon’s administration were convicted of the Watergate break in and related crimes. I think the Trump number could be ten times that.

“Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today? “Oh, we don’t have one. I think the TDS, that’s the leader right now… our party is governed by the TDS. And now it’s made it virtually impossible without being punished as a Democrat to agree something’s good or I agree with the other side.”
