Fifty years ago, the top 90% of the media was owned by a total of 50 different corporations; today just six corporations own that 90%. As a result, most of the news organizations owned by the same corporation will have the same viewpoints. The media is becoming monopolistic, and we need to start enforcing the monopoly laws, with tech too. Maybe anti-trust legislation and litigation could be the way to address this nonsense.
