Source: Burdun Iliya / Shutterstock.com A year ago, I placed a small wager on FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO ) after deciding its plan for a sports-oriented cable replacement backed by gambling looked like a winner. I lost the bet. FUBO stock is down more than 90% over the past 12 months and is now in penny stock territory. Trading around $2.70 a share, the company’s market cap is now less than $500 million. Fubo looks FUBAR. All the growth that made FUBO stock appear attractive a year ago is still there. Revenue was up 144% in 2021, excluding the acquisition of streaming platform Molotov. FuboTV even managed to nearly double its revenue in the first quarter of 2022, compared with the year-ago quarter, despite economic headwinds. The company has ample cash to sustain its current losses through 2022. And CEO David Gandler is buying the stock, professing the utmost confidence in the company. Yet, I’d bet that investors who take a position in FUBO stock now will have little to no profit to show for it by the end of the year.

The Monopoly On Your Mind: These 6 Companies Control 90% Of What You Read, Watch, & Hear Authored by Rebecca Strong via ''Down The Rabbit Hole'' Substack, In a recent Twitter survey I conducted, nearly 90% of people rated their trust in mainstream media as either “very low” or “low.” And is it any surprise? Ever-mounting media consolidation has narrowed the perspectives the public is privy to , ownership and funding of these corporations are riddled with conflicts of interest, crucial stories keep suspiciously getting buried, and big tech companies are outright censoring and demonetizing independent outlets trying to break through the noise. The media is supposed to function as a power check — and a means of arming us with vital information for shaping the society we want to live in. It’s never been a more important industry. And it’s never been more at risk. In this series, I’ll tackle each factor threatening the media’s ability to serve our democracy — with input from journalists, media critics and professors, and other experts.

Network president Jimmy Pitaros tenure largely has been a success from a business standpoint. But behind it is an environment thats failing its employees. ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro was on a roll.
