I wouldn’t say hesitant is the right word. They simply don’t cover it. It would be, and is, headline worthy in any other Western country, which is why the BBC is covering it.
Off the top of my head:
Rupert Murdoch: Fox News, Fox Business, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and other global outlets.
David Smith: Sinclair Broadcast Group, The Baltimore Sun, and the largest owner of local TV stations in the U.S.
David Ellison: CBS News, the CBS network, Paramount, and potentially CNN, HBO, Warner Bros., and Discovery if the merger goes through, consolidating broadcast, cable news, and major entertainment under one ownership, with Trump supporting the deal and his administration overseeing the regulatory decision.
This also doesn’t take into account Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter or Mark Zuckerberg’s pivot toward turning Facebook into a right wing echo chamber for boomers.
I could go on.
