Both. The MSM has been “consolidated” for a long time and has been spitting out Marxist talking points for fifty years and more.
We just didn’t know any better, because that’s all there was.
The alternative media will eventually get all the news out, but not without a fight. We’ll be called names and be threatened with jail, etc - as it has been throughout history. See Martin Luther.
Now excuse me. I have to get back to a story I broke with my newsblog Monday about a local library board that voted to give all the staff a 50% raise.

That's what I found fascinating about the AJ Liebling angle I mentioned.
He was writing example upon example of how the newspaper consolidation in the 50s and 60's was quite clearly a rightward bias toward monopoly and big business. It was!
How far we've reversed in 30 years!
I had never really considered how far right the papers tilted not just too long ago.
