Analysis Summary
UFC Freedom 250 is happening on the White House lawn tonight and is streaming exclusively on Paramount+, which requires a paid subscription. Parnas uses this to pitch his own Substack as an alternative to corporate media he says won't push back on Trump. The exclusive Paramount+ deal stems from UFC's multi-billion-dollar streaming contract — CBS could reach more viewers but Paramount is steering the event to its streaming product. Parnas doesn't mention that Paramount's parent recently settled a Trump lawsuit and approved a merger under his FCC, which is the backdrop for the 'won't cave' jab.
