I agree with this and I think you seem to be acknowledging that the word "billionaire" in this article is irrelevant? My issue is that it's being used here as if the reader should care that rich people own media companies.
Perhaps the article should be titled, "These 15 [bad people] Own America's News Media Companies", because as you point out, it's okay for rich people to own successful media companies, but that sometimes people with bad motives who are rich enough to own a media company do so.
I was being critical of the framing of the article – I understand why people are critical of the individuals and the motivations of those who own media companies.
