No, they are not being held hostage.
They are doing this because they want to.

I haven’t been trumpetting it much at all, but I’ve had this hypothesis for the last year or so that a lot of people in these news and media agencies have been... well... gotten to.
By that I mean, intimidated.
The figureheads and talking heads as well as the execs and anyone in charge.
This is based on no evidence at all, which is why I have mostly kept this theory to myself, but something just seems really too monolithic about the media lately.
From a market perspective, there is no reason for 85% of the media outlets to all compete for a political demographic that is far less than half the population. Something is more than a little fishy about it all.

You are correct! Good theory.
In the 60’s the CIA was revealed to have infiltrated the networks. There was a series of hearings wherein Network heads defended the practice. The results were in the Church Report. The CIA’s infiltration was then known as Project Mockingbird. I first read about it around 3 years ago.
As Project Mockingbird awareness grew (hey, the CIA controls our networks), the “scrubbers” came along to “modify” history. Just checking Wikipedia right now, Project Mockingbird is now defined as the CIA spying on the media!?
Just as in foreign countries, the US Media is being used to destabilize the United States and foment Coup. PResident Trump’s administration is “cleaning” the CIA but there are hold outs, foreign actors etc. still controlling much of the media.
“From a market perspective, there is no reason for 85% of the media outlets to all compete for a political demographic that is far less than half the population.”
The “market perspective” only matters to those whose primary concern is making money.
If you are already a billionaire, that’s probably not your primary concern.
I think you are correct. A few years back Glen Beck announced he was visited by some lawyers.
More recently a local talk show host used language inconsistent with his normal language that led me to believe he had been visited.
The Podesta emails were the Rosetta stone explaining the media bias.
Key owners and senior managers of media outlets are pedophiles, and they are being blackmailed.
Ccp China + Soros.
