25. There are only 5 or 6 conservative billionaire owners. They'll play their tune or be fired.

That's why I don't get too excited about the snippets of progressive or liberal talk they allow them to say.

Because they are 99% controlled and their overall messageing, cultural and political, serve not truth, the public interest or any positive changes in this country.

No really harsh questions asked, no going into the bigger problem despite the angst. The blurbs we love are all they are going to toss to us, just crumbs.

The 'liberal' media has been gone a long time, instead we have been treated to a light version of this since the 1980s on television, that is becoming worse daily. They have bought out the radio waves as well and their first cuts are dissenters.

Now they can also restrict content online, by the simple act of ownership. That is a hard thing to get around, but then we don't want any 'socialism' or 'big government.' This is what we will get from now on unless we GOTV.

JMHO. YMMV.
