Sumner Redstone was Jewish.

Are you sure? If they are, I apologise.

But it still remains true that neither own those channels, they're PLCs.

I'm not pushing anti anything. I'm staying facts.
You are probably a Twitterattii type that jumps to accuse at every given opportunity.
FFS some of my best friends are Jewish. I've attended their kid's Bar Mitzvah's.

You should be aware of the fact then that by being Jewish, doesn't by default make a person a Zionist. And yes, going on about the Jews owning the media is an anti semitic trope. As already pointed out, the most powerful in news media is not Jewish...

Come on man, you can't seriously claim the "Jews control the media" isn't an anti Semitic myth.

Saying some friends of yours are black and therefore you can't be racist as a trope often tilted out and cannot be hid behind

The Chairmen and majority owners of Viacom and Comcast are both Jewish, that's a fact.
NBC and CBS are the most watched networks in the US, that's also a fact.
From my own personal experience of friends who are Jewish, there's a common respect for each other, a loyalty of sorts. It's very understandable considering the rough times they've had in their history.

You offered an opinion, no facts. Why don't you share this opinion with your "best friends" and see how they react.

I've stated facts. The majority shareholders, Presidents and Chairmen of the two most watched networks in the US are Jewish.
I've often talked about this stuff with my Jewish friends and there's never been any accusations of being anti-Semitic or even unhappiness from any of them while discussing it.

What is anti-Semitic about stating facts?
I didn't say they were evil or doing anything wrong. I'm simply saying certain people who happen to be Jewish hold a lot of sway in the media and I'd suspect they wouldn't like the US criticising Israel.

Citations for these facts would be great, particularly the 'fact' that you stated that the majority of shareholders are Jewish. Thanks

I didn't say majority of shareholders, I said the major shareholder as in one person in each company.
This is widely known, I've posted the names.
It's also widely known that NBC and CBS are the two most watched networks in the US.
Like these aren't some obscure facts.

Cut the crap. There’s shifting the burden of proof going on. Someone made a claim and refuses to substantiate it. This is an Irish current affairs forum not a US politics forum, and you still have your own burden of proof. What is said without evidence will be dismissed without evidence.

Suffice to say the US is not going to backtrack now on its support of Israel.

It's not crap though. I've been accused here of being anti-Semitic and if saying things I didn't say.
He's right about this group in here that firms and attacks posters who don't follow the rules they've set here.

You were also simply asked for your proof. You haven’t given any.

Either way the CEO of company X doesn’t need to be Jewish to prove Zionism, as was said earlier there is plenty of non Jewish support in the US for Zionism. I fail to see the constructive good of badgering on about Jews in the media or any other sector.

I never mentioned Zionism. Simple loyalty between fellow Jews isn't anything to do with that.
It's highly likely that a wealthy Jewish American has ties and even business interests that include people who reside in Israel.
Its not a wild conspiracy theory to suggest they like the US to support Israel.

I'll post all the proof you want as soon as you all post stating that you know very little about US politics.
If you did know a lot about it I wouldn't have to post proof.

Conclusion: it is insufficient to merely imply that being Jewish confers a loyalty to Israel.

Now you try.

You don't have to be loyal to Israel to want the US to support them. If you have friends or business interests there that's a good enough reason.
I don't see anything wrong with that either.
We don't live in a perfect world and never will. Look who was potus up to January, look at the pandemic we are dealing with, look at Trump's deceased pal Epstein. There's a lot if horrible people and things out there.
Simply wanting the country you reside in to support a country where you have friends or business interests isn't a big deal to me.

So nebulous conspiracy theory type bs? Arguing that people who are not here to defend themselves are running the media pro-israel because it's profitable?

I never brought up CNN, just CBS and NBC.

Censoring means that I have a "I know better than you" attitude, but also even worse - that I want to keep you from watching something that will change your mind.
Like someone said; “Socialists don’t like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose socialism.”

I'm not criticising Biden. I'm just saying straight out that there are very powerful Jews who own the most watched news media in the US and I'm quite sure they don't want any criticism of Israel.
When I moved to the US in the mid-nineties the most evil man on the planet was Yasser Arafat according to news media there despite him sharing the Nobel Peace prize with Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin that year.

But at the end of the day it's merely your opinion that they don't, and without evidence all you have is a theory of conspiracy.
