    We have to ban foreign nationals owning our media. They do not purchase media companies as business interests anymore; it is only ever about changing public opinion.

      OTOH, Vice is a private company.

      One could argue I guess that per country, international companies need to have distinct subsidiaries and those need to be fully owned and operated in that country only with no international cash flow.

      But it’d be quite difficult to enforce, I’d imagine.

        Make it illegal to publish news media inside the borders if you are a foreign national. I wouldn’t have thought that a difficult concept.
