    The media is mostly owned by 6 conglomerates that are ran by billionaires who fund the right. It’s predictable because it’s by design. We are basically back in the gilded age.

          Wow, that’s a lot more entangled than I thought it was going to be. Thank you for this information.

          Bleacher Report has connections? I just thought they were some blog summarizing WWE back when I cared about pro-wrestling.

          Do you have a source for this? I’ve seen charts like these, but they never have a date on them, so I can’t tell if they’re still accurate, or out of date.

            Forbes. I didn’t link the article because it’s paywalled (I get it with my Apple News) and I thought this answered the question. I didn’t bookmark the article to post again.

              Thanks 👍

              With a little reverse-image-searching, it also looks like it’s from 2018. I like this graphic, I’d love to see a more recent version of this. For instance, I think Disney aquired FOX in 2019, and this chart still shows it being owned by 20th Century Fox.

                Yeah, a lot the good articles I found were pay walled and I don’t like responding to people with info they may not be able to access.

      The irony of omitting that liberal media channels suffer from exactly the same issue.

        The billionaires set the talking points and all other media is forced to address it or get accused of covering up “issues”.
