It has allowed fox news to become what it has. But it has progressively gotten worse (slowly so there wouldn't be outrage??). Media Reform Information Center  Quote: |
In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly, shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth

So basically more money = ownership of most media outlets = brainwash or control people through media outlets using heavy bias. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
