I don't know. I'm not qualified for that kind of decision making. What kind of impact would it have if you limit the size of a news agency? Would it actually be good or bad in the long run? If you put restrictions of language, topic and angle, where will the slippery slop end? How can all that be abused? What does that muzzle that shouldn't be muzzled?
Maybe, at the end of the day, it has to be people who fight back. Kind of like how you have the political fact checks. What if there were organizations that did the same about the journalistic integrity of news agencies and calls them out on it? I just think the calling out portion needs to be hardcore and not pussyfoot around it. A lot of the political fact checking always seems so quiet finger waving. If a plumber screws up the install job of a home's system and floods out the house, there's no light finger waving. A politician making bad policy due to bad logic and a news agency scaring the shit out of the public is further widespread and can cause lots of indirect havoc. Makes me better appreciate the Yakuza idea of collecting fingers for mistakes. People don't fuck off as much after they lose a finger.
