The deal is expected to close in the first half of next year. It still needs approval from Fox and Roku shareholders and also regulatory approval.

Hahaha, regulatory approval is f@ing guaranteed these days, as long as the proper fees are paid in advance. F@ck you, felon in chief. 😡😡😡

OP might not be the best example but I have a growing appreciation of holding your temper in check. Self censorship is some acknowledgement that you're watching a little bit of what you're saying.

At the same time though, fuck Trump.

Censorship is stupid. It's better to choose different words, hold back or go full in.

Also fuck Trump.

Been shouting at clouds forever. Capitalism ain't the problem, it's the unfettered mergers and near monopolies. When I was a kid, the FCC/FTC would have laughed. "No, you can't control that much media."

Now? Exactly as you said.

Why do you think there’s unfettered mergers and monopolies? That’s right, it’s capitalism.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

So capitalism is the problem. What do you think allows the mergers and deregulation, a government that is not capitalistic? SMH
