"We've lost thousands of local newspapers since the early 2000s. "

sounds like anti-competitive monopoly behavior was at play. multi-national corporations have basically bought up national media outlets as their very own agit-prop arms. they operate them at a loss, just like a monopoly to drive competition to the ground and don't really care if they even make a profit. like a cost of doing business for their other operations.

we need to bust trusts and cartels. they are running our country. health care, news, even politics.

why is it that Americans can't recognize ant-competitive behavior that is endorsed by government?
