President Donald Trump praised Nexstar Media Group’s planned multi-billion-dollar purchase of rival broadcast giant Tegna, suggesting the merger will serve as a counterweight against left-wing media giants.
“We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks. Letting Good Deals get done like Nexstar–Tegna will help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition, and at a higher and more sophisticated level,” Trump wrote on social media. “Those that are opposed don’t fully understand how good the concept of this Deal is for them, but they will in the future. GET THAT DEAL DONE!”
Nexstar first announced the $6.2 billion acquisition, which requires regulatory approval, in August 2025. Both companies oversee large holdings across local broadcast media. Nexstar’s reach spans more than 200 owned and partner stations in 116 markets throughout the country. It also runs The CW and NewsNation networks and owns The Hill, a U.S. political newspaper and website. (More)

He had already spent more than 1,800 days in confinement before Monday’s sentence.

Every time I say this out loud, people get upset. I get mocked in the comments. I get told I have chosen a political team. But I do not build my views around party loyalty. I build them around what I see with my own eyes, and what I see is a giant hole in the immigration debate that almost no one wants to talk about. (Read more) |
