I shudder to think what the Ellisons will do to some of my favorite franchises and even more of the media at large. Fuck everyone who made this happen.

Hopefully when the Dems retake control of Congress and the White House they will break up all these monopolies.

Well said, may your words become reality! Someone needs to intervene in these absurd market consolidation trends.

And let the cherry on top be the impeachment of the "orange man".
