If that's all you really want, why can't Musk buy a number of stations in major markets and use them as repeaters for Voice of America? The Feds already run it, the editorial policy is relatively center-right, all you'd really need is a transmitter that would send the signal on AM and FM in addition to the existing shortwave.

Any new network can create different content and draw a different audience.

Right now right and center only has one news and opinion channel - Fox.

It would be nice to have another option that's not just online.
We have Newsmax and Newsnation on our cable lineup, but they do not seem to be as high quality or as fair and balanced as FoxNews.

Sounds like a left-wing dream. Just add socialism and it's paradise.
Do you think if all the news and information outlets are owned by 1 multibillionaire who is constantly trying to court the government for contracts and legislation that makes him and his company richer, is a GOOD thing?

Regarldess of whether it's George Soros or Elon Musk?

"Elon Musk has just given the strongest hint yet that he may actually purchase MSNBC.

The troubled left-wing network has seen its ratings nosedive in the wake of Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the 2024 presidential election as furious viewers lash out at the false hope the network gave them or just check out of politics altogether.

Another major controversy has been that involving Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who informed their audience this week that had met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and would seek to take a “new approach” to covering his second term in office.

The situation is so severe that its parent company, Comcast, is reportedly ready to cut their losses and sell the network to the highest bidder.

Such reports have led to suggestions that Musk, who is the wealthiest man in the world and whose fortune has skyrocketed since Trump’s victory on account of rising Tesla shares, buy the network and turn it into a proper journalistic outlet.

Amid growing speculation that this could become a reality, the satirical conservative news site The Babylon Bee ran an article entitled “Musk Announces Plan To Buy MSNBC And Turn It Into A News Network.”

While the article may have been intended as satire, Musk appears to be taking it seriously.

“Crazy idea, but it might just work!” he wrote in a post on the X platform."

Although I do not think it will be likely. But how would you feel if Elon Musk bought MSNBC? After all, him buying Twitter seemed unlikely at the time.
I would be very surprised if he does ... actually cable TV in general is going by the wayside ... internet technology replaces it.

While Elon Musk has made some playful comments about purchasing MSNBC, there's no indication that it's actually for sale. Right now, Musk is focused on much larger projects, including his role in the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut federal spending significantly.

Musk, along with Vivek Ramaswamy, has suggested cutting up to $2 trillion from the federal budget by eliminating what they see as obsolete departments and reducing the workforce. It's an ambitious plan that has sparked a lot of discussion and debate.

Sometimes I compare Musk to different people in the history of this country. Does anyone else see who we can compare him to?

Not all of them no. Just the ones who called Trump "Hitler", "Fascist", "dictator", and "rapist".

Yes. And when he saw someone called "Diversification Expert" he inferred the position was deadweight because he thought it had something to do with DEI.....when it did not.

Hard to feel trust in someone after something like that.

Not about stuff he doesn't know about.

You know. Like every other human being on the planet.
