WHY YOU CANNOT TRUST THE NEWS.

The Media’s Foreign Cash Grab: Who Owns Your News?

You cannot trust a news outlets who collects money from shady characters, foreign countries, or dirty companies. This was the two cents I gave during the Dennis Michael Lynch Podcast on Thursday. After I said this, someone left a comment asking me to go deeper. So, here is my response:

The media is a cesspool of foreign cash and special interest handouts, and it’s screwing you out of the truth. Left, right, streaming, or radio—doesn’t matter. They’re all on taking questionable money. Let’s rip through the facts with hard numbers and big names.

Newsmax 
The so-called “conservative” website and TV network — where I once hosted a top-rated program — pocketed a $50 million investment from the Muslim nation of Qatar in 2018. That’s the same Qatar cozying up to Hamas and pumping out Al Jazeera. Newsmax didn’t disclose the investment until Bloomberg busted the story wide open.

The investment is not the only questionable move made by CEO Chris Ruddy. This is the same guy who wrote a book, gave speeches, and wrote articles alleging the Clintons may have been involved in the mysterious death of their lawyer Vince Foster. Imagine making a career out of suggesting such a thing to later cutting the Clinton Foundation a seven-figure donation check. Newsmax is listed between $1 million and $5 million donor on the Clinton Foundation website; Ruddy wrote articles on Newsmax’s website suggesting Bill Clinton was a swell guy, and that Hillary would make a good president. How is that conservatism?

Fox News
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owned 7% of News Corp until 2017, a $5 billion-plus stake. Fifteen of the nineteen terrorists involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks were from Saudi Arabia. More food for thought, Alwaleed himself has been vocal about his media investments, once stating in a 2012 interview that he saw them as a way to shape narratives in the West.

Go deeper: Various reports have referenced a $100 million loan from the state-controlled Bank of China to Fox News or its parent company around 2022. And James Murdoch, son of Fox’s founder Rupert Murdoch, also donated $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. And let’s not forget, we still do not know why Tucker Carlson was fired from the network immediately following the $787.5 million settlement Fox reached with Dominion Voting Systems

The New York Times
The liberal rag raked in tens of millions from Big Pharma ads—Pfizer and Moderna topping the list—while shilling COVID vaccines that didn’t stop transmission. A 2022 Lancet study confirmed the jabs weren’t the silver bullet promised, but the Times kept cashing checks. MediaRadar estimates Pfizer’s 2021 ad spend across major outlets hit $100 million-plus; the Times got a fat slice.

HuffPost
Owned by BuzzFeed now, but before that, it was AOL, which merged with Time Warner—whose parent, WarnerMedia, took foreign investments like Saudi cash through AT&T’s deals.

Slate 
Another far-left publication; its parent, Graham Holdings, doesn’t flaunt foreign ties, but its Kaplan education arm has global reach, pulling in overseas revenue that trickles back to the newsroom.

Politico 
Not only was it grabbing subscription money from the Biden Administration, but the radical left outlet is known to be a German trophy. Axel Springer SE, a Berlin-based conglomerate, bought it for $1 billion in 2021. Springer’s got ties to EU elites and a history of pushing transatlantic agendas—hardly “America First.”

Axios
Backed by Cox Enterprises, which is a U.S. firm, its early funding included cash from Open Society Foundations, George Soros’s globalist machine, which has shoveled billions into left-leaning causes worldwide. Soros also funneled $3.7 million into Democratic PACs, per USA Today, and his fingerprints are on digital outlets aplenty.

NBC 
Its parent, Comcast, is accused of having Beijing on speed dial. So we must ask if their Universal Studios park in China and a $1.5 billion deal with Tencent, which has operations deeply intertwined with China’s political and economic system, is why the news network appears to keep far away from criticizing the Chinese Communist Party’s many abuses?

CNN
It’s been accused of being in bed with Qatar for years—having content swaps with Al Jazeera and unreported ad revenue from state-run Qatar Airways.

ABC 
Its parent, Disney, has $5 billion sunk into Shanghai Disneyland; I don’t think they’re risking that deal by calling out China’s leadership.

CBS
It operates under Paramount, which leans on ViacomCBS’s global deals—like a $1 billion streaming pact with India’s Reliance Industries — CBS is likely tied to Middle East money.

MSNBC
It too is a Comcast baby — and so have you ever noticed the revolving door of guest pundits appearing from Soros-funded think tanks like the Center for American Progress, which took UAE cash.

Netflix
Is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund as a top shareholder—$14 billion in U.S. assets, including a 5% stake in 2018. Critics suggest they killed a “Patriot Act” episode critical of the kingdom to keep the cash flowing.

Amazon Prime
Founder and major shareholder Jeff Bezos, who now owns The Washington Post — bought for $250 million in 2013, in in bed with India. Amazon has poured significant capital into India, with over $11 billion committed and plans to double down on Prime Video content, as Jeff Bezos noted in 2020. This includes a $26 billion total investment pledge by 2030, announced in 2023, aimed at e-commerce, cloud services, and entertainment like Prime Video, so I expect them ignore Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime and its free press crackdowns.

Hulu
Majority-owned by Disney, loops back to China’s billions. Going deeper, Hulu, like Netflix and Amazon, all took Pfizer and Moderna ad money during the pandemic—tens of millions combined—while pushing vaccine hype.

Radio and Podcasting
iHeartMedia, the radio giant, got a $500 million lifeline from Saudi-backed Liberty Media in 2018. Its 850 stations don’t bite the hand feeding them, or so it seems. Podcasting’s hotshot, Spotify, has Tencent Holdings—China’s tech titan—with a 9% stake, worth $2 billion-plus. Spotify doesn’t have any shows that I know of that target the Chinese government. I hate to suggest it, but could it be due to Spotify’s CCP ties? Then there is Hubbard Broadcasting, with 48 radio stations and a PodcastOne stake, its Midwest affiliates reportedly rake in Big Pharma ads—$10 million annually, per estimates.

In General
Everyone appears to be on the take. Example: The Clinton Foundation was a magnet for media money. Beyond Newsmax and James Murdoch, Carlos Slim—Mexican billionaire and New York Times shareholder—gave $1 million to $5 million. NBC Universal, Comcast, Time Warner, and Viacom all chipped in, ranging from thousands to millions. Why? Not sure why for certain, but I have to believe it’s tied to something shady. The Foundation’s total foreign haul? Over $100 million from places like Saudi Arabia ($10 million-$25 million) and UAE ($1 million-$5 million). Tie it all together —- could it all about the influence tied to messaging, not charity?

Case in point: Advertisers call shots too. Pfizer’s $1 billion-plus annual ad budget across TV, print, and digital keeps mouths shut—CNN, NBC, and the Times all beneficiaries. Moderna’s $500 million ad spend in 2021 mirrored it. When the vaccines underdelivered, these outlets didn’t flinch—too busy counting cash I guess?

The damage…
Foreign players—Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China—don’t invest for giggles; they want sway. A 2023 DOJ filing showed China spent $100 million-plus on U.S. media influence since 2017. Special interests like Big Pharma and globalist foundations appear to buy themselves favorable narratives, not news. You’re stuck with slanted takes—whether it’s Fox downplaying Saudi ties, CNN dodging Qatar’s flaws, or Netflix kowtowing to Riyadh. Streaming, radio, podcasts—all compromised in my opinion.

Making it worse, with the power of A.I. it gets harder to know what is real and what is fake. And who is using A.I. more than anyone these days? Media companies. I cannot emphasize how important it is for you to learn about A.I., or at least remain in the know. It’s one of the reasons why I offer you our ad partner today (see below). I subscribe to many A.I. newsletters because it helps me understand what is fake versus what is real in news, politics, and global affairs.

In the end, money is buying the media, politics, health, and just about everything else that means something. Thankfully, it has not bought you, nor me. Let’s keep it that way.

DML CBD TESTIMONIAL
Most people do not know how I got into the CBD business, but they do know I have the best products in the industry. So, quickly, here is how it happened…

I was physically doing terrible — aches in my back, neck, and legs. I could not get up from a chair without pain. Walking was a task. During the filming of They Come to America IV, I was in the Bahamas and my escort (driver) saw I was hurting. He asked if I ever tried CBD. I had not, but told him I tried everything else with no success. He invited me to try his CBD, and I did. By the end of the week I could feel a difference for the better. When I returned to the States, I continued to use his CBD. I then sent a bottle to a lab and asked if they could improve on it. They did, and this is what inspired me to launch my own products. Since then, my sleep has improved, I never recall getting a flu or cold, and my pains are basically gone when compared to what they once were. Other people report improvements with anxiety, skin issues, face revitalization, and so much more.
