Frankly, I was shocked to learn all of this, and quite a bit more that was too deep in the weeds to put into this story.

Oops...I already follow you on Spoutible!!! Thank you for your reply. I fear for the survival of today's media. We no longer watch the main stream media as the corporate owners are focused on their bottom line, not in-depth reporting on issues of importance. We gravitated to PBS Newshour and independent journalism sources, such as The Stern Facts, and feel much better educated on the what is happening around the world.

I've shared this on my Slack channels and Spoutible. I have no idea how we stop "deals" allowing Russia to take control of valued media outlets. My Mom always told us you can't buy something that isn't for sale. The dollar has ruled America since... forever... and may well be our downfall in the long run.

Mr Stern...please join us on Spoutible. Spoutible is a wonderful, safe alternative to remaining on twitter. No toxicity, no nazis, no harassment on this new social media site. Hoping to "meet" you there soon.

I’m already verified on Spoutibule, thanks for asking!

The entire reason for attaching Mr. Russell to this deal is to avoid regulations enacted to stop such a transaction from happening. Hopefully the government review that will stop Putin-linked actors from buying Forbes and its trove of data on Americans are implemented
