Big Media, and now Big Tech, are known tools for the regime, no matter who the regime is. When the regime changes, so do they. Remember when the Biden administration pressured social media to ban specific individuals and suppress certain topics?

Hey, if Congress becomes an optional part of taxing large corporations, that may be a price worth paying.

Heck, summon every GOP billionaire and demand they pay a wealth “donation”

But in this case, the money isn’t going to help people.
Did the Biden administration ever ask them to give him money or say if they didn’t pay him directly they wouldn’t approve a business deal?

And you don’t see a slight difference between being concerned about the public health and putting the government on them and threatening to put them out of business because he didn’t like what they said about him personally like Trump tried to do with Disney?

Or not approving a merger until the company paid him directly like Trump did with Paramount?
