What also bothers me are corporations, like Viacom, who have what appear to be a monopoly on our news, publishing, and entertainment outlets.

Yes. But I am far more interested in the unity of perspective across apparently competitive journalism outlets, which is IMHO pervasive and deleterious to the nation.

The truth is that "talk radio" is a form of journalism which scrutinizes the supposedly "objective" kind of journalism. Talk radio does not affect to be objective and consequently is more objective than the other kind. But the PR power of pseudo-objective journalism is so great that, for most people, its fatuous claims are difficult to see through.
