Senator Bernie Sanders discussed the influence of billionaires on major media outlets, arguing that this concentration of power is moving the U.S. toward an oligarchic society. Appearing on CNN's The Source, he highlighted how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk own significant media platforms, including CNN and Twitter. Sanders expressed concern that this ownership limits dissent and increases fear, especially as these figures might cater to political interests, referencing the potential negative impact of Trump's ongoing influence on media dynamics.
"You have a small number of very wealthy people who own the media who in recent months have kind of caved in to Trump."
