Another worthwhile #Petition that we should all sign. Some think that petition acheive very little, and that may be true in isolation. But a war is never about a single battle and every scirmish advances the chance of winning the war.

In any case, what does signing a petition really cost you? Start your #rebellion with small acts that together grow to make a difference.

#NewsCorp isn’t about #News. All of its outlets are simply #Authoritarian #Propaganda spewing machines or #InfoTainment channels devoid of any #SocialLicence. The sooner we change #MediaOwnership rules the sooner we’ll clean up the air around our #FourthEstate and return to #SociallyResponsible #News and #information nurturing #Healthy #PublicDebates and #SocialDemocracy.

"The Media Sovereignty Act Does Five Things:
Bans foreign media ownership.
Bans the concentration of UK national media ownership by one person or corporation.
Funds independent and local media with a social media levy.
Requires national media to be under the remit of the statutory regulator.
Requires dark-money funded think-tanks that are covered by the media to declare donations in real time.
When we get to 10,000 signatures, the government has to provide a response.
When we reach 100,000 signatures, the government has to consider the petition for debate in Parliament."

Barry Diller said he would make major changes at CNN if he acquired the network, telling Graham Bensinger that he has long been interested in buying it and believes it has not been managed optimally.
The power and accountability angle is the part to watch.

Petition: Ban foreign media ownership, enact a social media levy & new regulatory reform

Pass law to ban foreign & offshore ownership of UK media, enact a social-media levy to distribute media ownership across society & fund independent, local & cooperative-owned media. We believe democracy is failing as the media & political power are owned by a tiny rich elite.

OpenAI acquired TBPN, the tech talk show that frequently interviews Sam Altman, for hundreds of millions. The 11-person team will report to OpenAI's strategy chief, not a newsroom. The company calls this an "Editorial Independence Covenant" - but when you buy your interviewer, that independence becomes theoretical at best. #AIGovernance #MediaOwnership #TechAccountability

OpenAI Bought TBPN. That's Not Editorial Independence.

OpenAI paid hundreds of millions for an 11-person talk show and called it an Editorial Independence Covenant. The playbook is not new. Margit Wennmachers wrote it at Andreessen Horowitz when Valley coverage turned hostile.

OpenAI acquired TBPN, a daily tech talk show with 70,000 viewers per episode that has hosted Zuckerberg, Nadella, and Altman. The profitable 11-person startup was projecting $30M in 2026 ad revenue but will abandon its advertising model entirely under OpenAI ownership. The deal includes an "Editorial Independence Covenant" though the show reports to OpenAI's strategy chief. #AIMedia #TechAcquisitions #MediaOwnership

Canada’s media meltdown is hiding in plain sight

Amid intense coverage of Travis Dhanraj’s testimony before MPs, a key detail went largely unnoticed: Ottawa is once again launching an inquiry into what has gone wrong with Canada’s news media. One answer politicians are unlikely to confront is their own role in creating many of the problems now under scrutiny and decline.
