I agree with you.
I love your sober take.
There's one other group that I'm eyeing that does have a lot of vested interest in our news brands, and that is Eastern News.
business moguls or corporations that need the authority of Western brands because they couldn't build homegrown brands with journalistic excellence due to oppressive free speech culture.
So if you think about it, Nikkei buys the FT.
High billionaire buys fortune.
Forbes is still owned by a Hong Kong-based private investment firm.
This trend is something I've been following a lot of.
And the reason it's notable is they often care about these Western business brands because they can take their logos and put it on coffee shops or upsell conferences or build up authority in their own businesses back home.
And
That is a trend I'm following.
Televisa Univision, another great example of that.
You know, the FCC was hesitant for a long time about giving Mexico's most powerful company access to the majority ownership of a U.S.,
broadcaster that uses our public spectrum.
So the foreign investment in U.S.
news media for reasons other than just financials is also very interesting to me.
They're another group outside of billionaires that I'm watching.
I agree with you.
I just think that we need a better mechanism as a society to determine where the line is.
You know, it's that's the challenge.
