This is blatantly inaccurate and outdated, which is not to say that there is not massive media conglomeration but rather the information presented is inaccurate.
This link is also reblog spam from a BusinessInsider reblog spam from some other "frugaldad" (FRUGALDAD sounds like a legitimate source of media conglomeration news, doesn't it?) site from 2011, and even BI stated it was inaccurate and outdated back then making it even more so now in 2017.

Anyway. Nobody bothering to check on this stuff, even in a highly intelligent community like HN, is a great example of how inaccurate or untruthful garbage spreads online.
- tripzilch 9y agoI strongly suspect that this article got its upvotes because many people on HN feel it is an important topic to discuss, not because the quality of the article itself is that great.
