“The worldwide consolidation of media industries has led to a
consequent closure of the public airwaves with respect to matters
of public interest. As control of this public resource becomes more
centralized, the messages transmitted by global media purveyors
become progressively less relevant, less diverse, and less
reflective of ground truth.“At present, individuals and organizations work to break the
stranglehold of these anti-market-media-mega-corporations through
the application of the courts and the law. However, because of the
inherent monopoly that anti-market media maintain on the public
mindset, legislators have been understandably reluctant to make
moves toward media diversification. We are thus confronted with a
situation where many people have interesting things to say, but
there are progressively fewer outlets where these views can be
shared…”
