As CBS News Atlanta previously reported, more than one in four single-family rental homes in metro Atlanta are owned by large corporate investors — more than 72,000 homes — giving the region one of the highest concentrations of institutional ownership anywhere in the United States.

Housing advocates have argued that those companies can outbid families with cash offers, reducing the number of homes available to first-time buyers while contributing to higher home prices and rents.

Warnock has repeatedly cited those trends in pushing the legislation, saying corporate investors have increasingly treated homes as financial assets instead of places for families to live.

I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with CBS news?

CBS is officially a mouthpiece of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, along with Fox News. Their news is now directly promoting the MAGA agenda. Scott Pelley, a highly regarded investigative journalist quit after being pressured to included unsourced and unverified claims in his reports, which means those reporters who remain, are succumbing to those pressures to report MAGA lies

Further, MAGA propaganda is seeping into their programming. Law enforcement is always righteous, even when they break the rules to protect America. The enemies are always standard MAGA boogeymen like domestic terrorists from Portland, or Iranian terrorist sleeper cells, even though none of that has ever actually existed in America. And that's just the stuff that is happening with existing shows, future shows will be much more direct.

CBS was bought by the Ellisons, who also own Oracle. Larry Ellison is the second richest man in the world, and a Sociopathic Oligarch with a vicious MAGA streak, and his son is chip off the old psychopathic block. He has a lifelong reputation as a proud and enthusiastic asshole, and LOVES to do damage and hurt people for profit. His son is just as arrogant, and as we've seen, the Nepo-Babies are often worse than their parents.

Now these people have bought CNN as well, one of the Right's biggest targets, and they will start dismantling it, too. Now they want to buy Warner Bros, so they can start manipulating our heritage, and continue to manipulate public opinion through entertainment.

The silver lining is that MAGA is virtuosically incompetent, and they'll eventually screw this up. If their arrogance doesn't do them in, then their complete misunderstanding of what people find entertaining will. Conservative entertainment is ALWAYS heavy-handed, humorless, and boring. They will ultimately be brought down by their own bad personalities.

There are good reasons that MAGA is so despised, and they aren't going to translate into entertaining programming.

Hoo boi, I've got some bad news.

Basically after a bunch of sales and crap, CBS is now also owned by the Ellisons, and also walking fascist self-contradiction Barri Weiss is heading CBS News.

Trump stooges, billionaires, accelerationist, anti-everyone, zionist types. . . And they're buying up every major media outlet without being stopped. It's pretty disgusting.
