These online media are content aggregators. They help socialize and propagate narratives, but they don’t produce narratives. They certainly amplify the echo chamber effect.
- kibwen 5y ago> big media companies like CNBC, CNN, Fox News, WSJ, and NY Times Of those, the six companies mentioned by the grandparent (Comcast, Disney, AT&T, Sony, Fox, Paramount) only own CNBC and Fox. CNN is owned by Warner Bros, WSJ is owned by News Corp (of course, the link to Fox through Murdoch is relevant), and NYT is its own company.
- michaelf77 5y agoWarner Bros is owned by AT&T Fox is owned by News Corp same as WSJ So the only one not covered by the "big 6" of the original article is NYT
- kibwen 5y agoAT&T divested Warner last year, and I believe Fox and News Corp are technically independent (again, the Murdoch link).
