I disagree hugely and have seen a massive move towards the decentralization of media. Which is exactly what's causing a rise in extremism. How does a more diverse media environment NOT lead to more extremism by its very nature? It means people have more access to more extreme views. Extremism is a double edged sword, tends to accelerate societal progress but tends to result in more loons mucking things up. New York Times as society's moral arbiter will never happen again. I'm not sad either. For all this high minded talk about protecting people from extremism I'll never forget how much blood they have on their hands from back when they reported fake news that helped sell the Iraq war. That has killed way more people than the rise of extremism has. Their FUD about how we have to break up the NYTs competition doesn't sway me. The NYT also loves extremism so long as it's the kind they approve of. Neo-victorian social media lynching of men accused of sexual indiscretions? Well they're on board with that because it advances women's rights and the collateral damage is exaggerated anyways.
