That doesn’t surprise me. It’s the same in Czech republic and I imagine it’s very similar in other countries too.

In other countries press is owned by millionaires

Yep and to be clear those are far right billionnaires who push hard for eurosceptic, fascist crap.

According to reddit, it’s perfectly fine in ever every other country except for Hungary.

The word “French” seems to be rather redundant here …

The important thing here is that they are **far-right Christian cult billionaires**.

So? I’ve got a French press, and I’m not even close to being a millionaire.

You can buy one for a couple of Euros in Auchan. Weird flex.
They’re also not that great, I recommend a percolator.

Billionaires? You mean, oligarchs

The very existence of billionaires is incompatible with democracy. Unless radical measures are taken to limit personal wealth to a reasonable amount, we will always live under the yoke of a small number of powerful individuals that no one ever voted for.

I mean isnt most media? Gotta keep the people angry at each other instead of the billionaires

That’s what you do. Make millions, buy newspaper and make your own news, make billions – simple calculations really 🤷🏽♂️

Well I’m shocked!

Isn’t press not owned by billionaires rather rare? I can think of the associated press itself and public broadcasters like BBC in the UK or ARD/ZDF in Germany, but that’s it.

Slightly better than being owned by politicians *cries in romania*

problem is; with the arrival of internet, written press is now a loss leader. the main way to survive is through either patronage from billionaires (who are right wing by definition), or large-scale small donations (wikipedia, substack, patreon…). the latter being too volatile to provide stable jobs

Well, I guess then that normal folks can’t afford to own a newspaper in France. Who would have thought that?

That is also true at the regional level where local newspapers belong to the local (reputable) mafias.

I also own a french press.

And what is the problem? At least it’s not controlled by a state.
