Corporate media control is just as dangerous [1], but much better hidden. They present themselves as countless different TV stations and newspapers, yet we allow them to conceal their common ownership: "In 1983, 90% of US media was controlled by 50 companies; as of 2011, 90% was controlled by just 6 companies and in 2017 the number was 5." [2]
We could force them to identify their owners, just like drugs have to list side-effects. Make them change 'NBC' to 'NBC (Comcast)'.
