Absolutely agree.
Most media is owned by a very small number of companies/people. I believe that we need laws to prevent the existence of media monopolies/conglomerates.
When the exact same news story is read verbatim (or nearly so) on stations across the country, we are not getting news, we are being propagandized.
They control what we hear, and possibly more importantly, what we don’t hear.
“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.” - approximate quote of someone like Twain or Mencken.
