Who, exactly, do you think owns and controls the media?

  It doesn't matter specifically who in this specific context. I replied to a comment worrying about this leading to entertainment being controlled by smallish groups when that's actually already the case. There are just a handful of corporations cntrolling all media in the U.S. Hollywood's nepotism is infamous and keeps on taking foreign money and shooting for foreign markets.

    Bluntly: you don't get to decide whether it matters; a discussion isn't one-way. If you're going to dogwhistle about fifth columns, anybody has a right to ask you who you're winking about.

      I mean, I answered. What are you wanting to know, exactly? What are you getting at? And bluntly, a discussion is a discussion, meaning I can make an argument. If you disagree, then you can make a counter argument instead of arguing meta principles. So are you claiming that U.S. media is not controlled by a small amount of corporations and thus their executives, and that these companies aren't taking on foreign investment and thus looking to appease said foreign investors? What does it matter what the corporation names are in the context of the comment I replied to?
