The tech mogulElon Muskhas caused a stir once again by announcing its intention to acquire the iconic television networkABC. According to sources close to the news, Musk’s goal is to radically transform the network’s editorial approach, stating that this is the“the only way to eliminate woke ideology”of its programming.
In addition, Musk reportedly chose controversial former Fox News host,Tucker Carlson, as the new CEO of ABC, a decision that promises to generate intense discussions in the political and media spheres.
Having revolutionized social media with its acquisition ofX (formerly Twitter)Musk seems determined to expand his influence in traditional media. During a private event, Musk said:
- “Traditional media has been hijacked by political correctness. We need to balance the narrative and bring back traditional values.”
Musk’s plans would include a complete restructuring of ABC’s content, focusing on thefreedom of expressionand eliminating what he considers a progressive bias in his programming.
The choice of Tucker Carlson as CEO is no coincidence. Carlson, known for his conservative views and straightforward style, was one of the most influential figures in cable television before his departure from Fox News.
- “Tucker is bold, brilliant and has the vision to restore credibility to the media,”Musk is reported to have said.
The announcement has sparked an intense debate on social media and in the media:
- Seguidores de Musk y Carlsonhave welcomed the move, calling it a necessary step to counter what they perceive as asesgo izquierdista en los medios
- Críticos, en cambio, advierten que esta adquisición podría politizar aún más a ABC y alienar a gran parte de su audiencia.
Algunos comentarios destacados en redes sociales incluyen:
- Apoyo: “¡Por fin alguien que arreglará el desastre mediático!”
- Crítica: “El fin de la integridad periodística de ABC está cerca.”
De concretarse, esta adquisición marcaría un precedente en el que multimillonarios con posturas ideológicas fuertes toman el control de grandes medios de comunicación. Expertos señalan que podría aumentar la polarización en la industria y acelerar la concentración de poder mediático.
Por el momento, no se ha confirmado oficialmente la compra, pero las negociaciones estarían en marcha. The Walt Disney Company, la empresa matriz de ABC, aún no ha emitido comentarios sobre el tema, aunque se espera que esta propuesta genere debates intensos entre sus accionistas y directivos.
Mientras tanto, la intención de Musk de moldear las narrativas culturales y políticas sigue siendo evidente. Seguiremos informando a medida que esta historia se desarrolle.
