Jews who own American media
A closer look at mainstream media
Muhammad Qassam
Aug 12, 2025
Most of what Americans watch on screen is distributed by just four companies. Together these media conglomerates own most of America’s TV networks1 and film studios2. They are Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount Global.
They are all led by Jewish CEOs.
Brian Roberts (Comcast)
David Ellison (Paramount Global)
David Zaslav (Warner Bros. Discovery)
Robert Iger (The Walt Disney Company)
These are all publicly traded companies. While ownership in publicly traded companies is diffuse, leadership is not. The CEO often provides the clearest picture of who is truly in charge. But it’s not always the case. Still, it’s possible to identify which individuals control each media organization by scurtinizing ownership. Let’s take a closer look at them, one by one.
Comcast
Grade: Owned by Jews
Brian Roberts is Comcast’s Chairman and CEO. He owns 100% of Comcast’s Class B shares, which gives him an undilutable 33% voting power over the company. He is the largest individual investor in Comcast, and his shares are valued at $1.2 billion.
There are several other Jews in top leadership. This includes Jeffrey Honickman3 (Director), Matt Strauss (Chairman of NBC Universal Media Group), and Rebecca Blumenstein4 (President of NBC News).
Paramount Global
Grade: Owned by Jews
Paramount Global is currently controlled primarily by National Amusements, which controls 77% of the voting power. National Amusements is owned by the Redstone family and is now being sold to David Ellison. Both the Redstone and Ellison families are Jewish.
Warner Bros. Discovery
Grade: Owned by Jews
David Zaslav is not the largest stakeholder in Warner Bros. Discovery. That distinction belongs to his Jewish patron, Steven O. Newhouse, whose shares are valued at $5.1 billion, making up 16% of the company.5
The Walt Disney Company
Grade: Led by Jews
For the past 40 years, Disney has been led by two Jewish CEOs. Michael Eisner was CEO from 1984 to 2005. Bob Iger took over in 2005 and stayed in the role until 2020.6 He returned in 2022 and is still CEO today. He is the largest individual shareholder of Disney.
There are several other Jews in top leadership. This includes Alan Bergman (Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment), Dana Walden7 (Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment), Michael B.G. Forman (Director), and Jenny Cohen (Executive Vice President).

Murdoch Family Trust
Grade: Owned by people with some Jewish family
The Murdoch Family Trust effectively controls a wide range of media assets across several sectors through Newscorp and Fox Corporation23. The Trust owns 14% of the companies, and roughly 40% of their voting shares. The Murdoch family is mostly not Jewish but has several Jewish family members.24
