It’s just a few conglomerates - Disney, Warner, Fox, Sinclair - that control everything now. And they are all kowtowing to Trump and Republicans because the finance people need their deals to go through to get their bonuses.
The next administration needs to break up Disney and Fox and Warner. And Sinclair with their dominance over local markets. I think Disney’s decisions in recent days provides very compelling reasons why we need more players in the media market.
Breaking the media conglomerates should be a pretty compelling issue that resonates with most Americans.
Some people are saying this started because NexStar wants to merge with an affiliate, but would have to get FTC approval because it would make them too large.
I agree, we need to break up the media, banks, insurers, and on.
