What’s Litha Nandy supposed to do about it?
Perhaps Jeff Bezos might like to add it to his media stable and then, of course there’s Elon Musk…
“ of course there’s Elon Musk…”
Yes please, if only for the fun of watching all the exploding heads when he announces it and given his current antics I wouldn’t put it past him just for the devilment.
“It’s about ensuring a healthy, diverse media landscape that serves democracy, fosters trust, and upholds the sanctity of good, well-sourced, fact based, independent journalism.”
We’re talking the UK Major Media “landscape” here, right?
I don’t know whether to reach for the barf bag, or simply ROFL here.
Maybe this should be a separate entry under “flatulent tosspottery”?
What’s the bidding for the DT? $500 million or so? Chump change for Elon Musk. But not worth it.
Yes, that kind of dosh for a shrinking old-school print media operation like the DT could only be justified if you believe that ownership of a national newspaper title gives you access to those in power, or maybe ermine.
