They are correct. Efforts like the US TikTok acquisition and Warner Bros/Paramount merger were pushed through the FTC specifically to consolidate media power with GOP-friendly EOs like Safra Katz and Larry Ellison.

What causes you to disagree?

The fact that those, and Twitter, were recently bought and the mergers were allowed because they don't get close to the reach that Disney, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, and Threads), Google (especially Youtube), Netflix, Reddit, CNN, etc do. Do you really think these recent mergers have already produced biased content that gets more eyes per day than even the non-exhaustive list above? If so I encourage you to do some basic fact checking, and maybe I didn't account for something.

Do you have a citation for that, or are you putting words into the FTC's mouth that nobody ever said?
