What is unfolding between Paramount and Warner Bros. is not just another corporate merger. It is a full-blown power grab led by Jared Kushner and Saudi investors who are now bankrolling the takeover. The idea of people this politically connected and this unaccountable gaining control of what Americans watch and read should set off alarms everywhere. The deal would give them influence over titans like CNN, HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, and even streaming platforms like Max and Paramount Plus.
It goes far beyond entertainment. The Saudis have quietly pumped billions into global culture for years, buying into tech companies, sports leagues, and now American media. They are reaching into the heart of how stories are told, from CNN to DC Studios to digital brands like Bleacher Report and Max. The silence from regulators and politicians is unnerving. This is not healthy competition or free-market growth. It is something closer to cultural capture.
The financial logic is almost as disturbing. Paramount is buried under billions in debt and Netflix owes around fifteen billion, yet both somehow keep getting greenlights for massive deals they cannot afford. The money flows anyway, and the same global investors keep showing up. What is taking shape is not just media consolidation. It is a takeover of the national imagination by the people with the deepest pockets and the least accountability.

The South African Rainbow Alliance (SARA) is strongly opposing the introduction of gay rights in schools, by advocating for decent and modest uniforms for learners. School learners should adhere to schools' dress code of conduct.
"Without professional historians, history education will be left more and more in the hands of social media influencers, partisan hacks and others unconcerned with achieving a complex, empirically informed understanding of the past. Take, for example, Bill O’Reilly’s 12-books-and-counting “Killing” series — the best-selling nonfiction series of all time, according to Mr. O’Reilly’s publishers"

L’anglais et le français sont vraiment trés semblable. Le mot naratif que j’entends de plus en plus souvent existe aussi en anglais avec la même signification
