He wasn’t being a dick, just pointing out that all mass media has always been owned by oligarchy. This isn’t consolidation of the media under right wing, that is nonsensical because it happened since the beginning of history.

You say study history? What about Edward Murrow’s warning during the Red Scare when the US disowned and kicked out all the leftist. Sound like what we are still dealing with.

Newspapers were always owned by the wealthy and acted as their mouthpiece since the inception of this country which was founded on violence and propaganda.

I do see your point though, but it is important to point out the truth lest we fall into propaganda traps like “independent media” or “left wing” media.
