| That's a shitty gamble when online media is where it is at now a days. These big media networks are dinosaurs hanging on by a thread. |

| The people who vote are the people also glued to 24hr news. Plus, they already own all of the online media. The important bits, anyway. |

If controlling this media ekes out a couple of percent in the midterms, it’s money well spent. A few tens of billions against consolidating power and bigger grifts? High ROI investment. |

| I think that's over-simplifying it. Some YouTube personality (or whatever we want to call 'online media' that isn't just CNN's website) isn't going to be getting a Whitehouse press pass anytime soon. |

It was so onerous that even Fox News refused to sign. Now the press Corp is basically a bunch of right wing influencers. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/03/nx-s1-5630076/the-press-corps... Just in case you think this is just another liberal hit piece, let me repeat that Fox News refused to sign the agreement. | |

| It might be. But if you're doing a short-term political power play (rather than a business investment), it could be a good tactical spend. And it might be a smart business investment if the political power play works in such way that you can politically bend the business environment in your favor. |
