Oh I get why he is doing this, it's the same reason why Disney bought out ABC or Microsoft bought out NBC.

It's all the free publicity! Just think of all the money he will save putting out all the stuff he wants to push.

It actually has absolutely nothing to do with free speech. Only his speach for free... As advertising!!!

Anything else is just coincidental. And a good bargaining chip to boot!

He is pulling another goggle on everyone! Just another example!

We are in the middle of the information age, yet many still don't understand just what that means.

It means information on just your point of views! And the base vehicle for that is mindless, brainwashing advertising!

Just like all the others. Only Google was the first to recognize it and take action quickly and cheaply. . He is paying a very dear penny for this recognition so late though.

BTW Google itself started on the "free speech band wagon" in the 1990s by buying out Deja News. Now own YouTube and over 200 other companies.

None of the big advertisers (Google, Microsoft, Disney) got in so late as he has.

Does anyone doubt that Disney made out big time advertising their own movies for basically nothing? Especially on their own advertising if not on the news and entertainment programs.

Does anyone doubt ESPN made out big time buying out all the sports rights then charging exorbitant advertising costs on top of the basic subscription costs?

I forgot to mention the last! ESPN has all the professional sports contracts throughout the world.

Is anyone really fighting that? Doesn't anyone really care? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just ask any sports fanatic if they really care! It's just so called "free enterprise" at a cost of your own voice as well as your own brain!
