The whole Skydance/Paramount (Ellison) take over of Warner Bros, CBS, etc. and then installing people like Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief does _not_ help the “own the media” trope.

For context, because swingboy is being oblique, Ellison and Weiss are both Jewish and the word omitted before "own the media" is Jews.

Let's drop the labels and state the facts, there are a group of people who are using the media to push an agenda that is covering up atrocities.
Atrocities on both sides don't negate that atrocities are happening.
Editors hold a high integrity position, these ones are not apparently operating with integrity.

I'd say you're projecting. Reading the parent comment I understood it to simply mean "reactionaries", nothing more.

Compared to most Americans, it is safe to say that we have a Zionist mainstream media right now. The American people do not support the genocide in Gaza the media mostly does. The billionaires mostly do. We have concert tours being canceled for the temerity to say free Palestine.

Media is hard to get right/proper, and tempering the profit motive with social strictures works when everyone is mostly in agreement (I mean inside the organization).
However when the divide is so contentious, essentially binary, appealing to only the profit motive is probably not going to get the desired results.
