As of 2015, Comcast Corp. is the largest media conglomerate in the U.S. with Disney, NewsCorp and Time Warner following in order.
As of February, 2017, AT & T and Time Warner are in talks to merge into one superglomerate creating the largest mass media and entertainment company in the U.S.
Many industry experts believe the merger would violate anti-trust laws.
These vast companies are virtually 100% liberal in management and product.
Media integrity, the public interest and the democratic process is at risk when small numbers of companies control the national media market.
I'll be vastly interested in when and if the kibosh is put on these mergers as they come into view during the current administration...and I urge all freepers to keep an eye on things, and write your representatives when necessary.
Our media and entertainment could well be controlled very soon by 5 or 6 corporations, companies and/or families.

Hello new professional football league??? 🏈
My understanding is that this involves Hollywood-type Fox enterprises - including some cable channels. Technology is changing that part of the media notably... might have something to do with this. Disney is here in my back yard, and - while they bring train loads of money into Orlando - they are not a very good neighbor... AND their media is only designed to corrupt children. IMHO
Comcast sucks!
Sorry, obligatory.
