    The statement that Vanguard and BlackRock own Fox and Dominion is at best misleading.

    Both Vanguard and BlackRock are very large investment management companies, they create mutual funds and exchange traded funds which may own shares of either Fox or Dominion, or possibly both depending on the focus of the particular fund.

    Perhaps a better statement would be that Vanguard's and BlackRock's customers in aggregate own (a majority of? a significant fraction of) Fox and Dominion.

    When Fox or Dominion lists their shareholders, they include something like "Vanguard Omnibus Account", which is essentially a bucket for all the shares that all of (say) Vanguard's mutual funds own, rather than listing the individual mutual funds. Perhaps this is the source of the 'BlackRock/Vanguard own Fox/Dominion' statement.

    If you own shares of a company directly (probably in a brokerage account), you get a letter each year asking you to vote your shares on a few matters like electing new members of the company's board of directors and potentially some matters of corporate policy. The sneaky bit is that if you own a mutual fund that owns a company, the mutual fund's managers vote the shares.

    Good theme this week, OUC! Thanks! I rarely watched Tucker live, but always clicked on him the next morning on Youtube to keep up. I miss him during my wakeup coffee.

    As much as I hate to admit it, I think you got here, Dobrien. I was (apparently falsely) clinging to the notion FOX News was different from the usual deep state mouthpieces, but it looks like it's moving to the dark side. Time to move on to other sources.

    👍🏻 Information warfare. Tucker was on fire for the last 6 months. Seems like his shackles were cut.
    With all the truth coming out FOX had to show its true rainbow colors.

    Memes #3 and #4 tracked down the scent-following me dino to clearly explain a homogeneous stench I've been smelling.
    Nothing seemed quite right about Fox News CEO Murdock so quickly buckling for Dominion before going to trial.
    Black Rock/Vanguard owning both Dominion and Fox sued itself to write off hundreds of millions and gave Tucker Carlson the boot to appease Big Pharma advertising.
    Tax write-offs should ease the pain of Black Rock/Vanguard owned Fox for losses incurred for firing Tucker.
    May The Force bring back a laughing it up Carson to be more powerful than ever.
    He deserves it for having the guts to expose the Deep State fat cat bully boys of a murdering innocents for money Big Pig Pharma. Tucker is one of the very few real journalists left.

    The one where Tucker has the casket on his shoulders?...yea, there was more to that but I used it as a lead up to the tombstone meme.
    Forgot what the Uganda thing was all about.

    I don't understand the one of Tucker that's positioned between the Don Lemon meme and the tombstone meme. I couldn't read the text which might be part of the problem.

    I agree. In the long run the Bud Light debacle may set a standard for other companies to learn a lesson that there are a lot of MAGA people out there. And they make a lot of buying decisions on how they spend their money.

    I vote: Tucker, there are plenty of Beers out there, but there are not many truth exposing TV News casters on TV.

    You'll just have to tune in once a week here at the Gulch for: IN THE MEME TYME's take on what happened last week.
