Having to pay attention to the “news”.
Fellow billionaire media magnate here: you’re doing it wrong. You make the news what you want it to be! Isn’t that why we do this, at all!?

That’s not capslock - an executive assistant artisanally capitalized each of those letters individually.
Dealing with 6 different media companies is exhausting. You have no idea. When they finally merge my staff will only need to pay one of them. More time for everyone to play golf. Win-win.
Just install puppets to run each network. You get the money and reputation cleaning, they do the work of making other people do the work. And they take the blame if anything goes wrong, so I still come off looking ok.
And by having “multiple” companies, I can control them all better. If the figurehead of one does anything I disagree with I can use another media brand to launder the kompromat I have on said figurehead. They can never be seen in public again and I come of smelling like roses.
So far AI can’t be canceled though. You need cancelable minions to act as a pressure valve - letting the poors rage about your evil without any of the rage coming your direction.
