What's the scope of this website? Can we talk about media companies and also boycotting Paramount, Skydance and CBS? (lemmy.zip)

With the 60 minutes broadcast being pulled I think it's super important everyone takes aggressive action against everything owned by the Ellisons because they are doing the same thing that was done in Hungary. The Oligarchs buy up media companies and turn them into propaganda channels for the regime.

I urge a strong boycott against all companies owned by the Ellisons and fierce response against their attempts to turn these stations into propaganda stations.

At a more broad level I think the website should include a media category. It could include bad channels like Fox News and good alternatives like Democracy Now.

I'm unfamiliar with which companies (aside from Oracle) are owned by the Ellison.

Can I get you to enumerate some of the big ones?

Paramount, Skydance and CBS are owned by Dave Eillison. I believe it's now one company called "Paramount Skydance Corporation".
