Substantively, this is a battle between a US media powerhouse and a sovereign nation over control of its local media. This isn't "ideological flamewar", it is an inescapable reality underpinning the case.

There's the underlying issue and then there's the separate question of whether you posted a thoughtful comment or a flamewar comment about it. You posted a flamewar comment. We don't want those here.

Any substantive point you have to make can be made thoughtfully, and will have a better impact in favor of your argument. It's actually not in your interest to make a point like this snarkily and provocatively. People do that for a little temporary venting relief, but it harms their own view in other people's eyes, in addition to harming the commons. So please don't do that.
