We used to regulate forms of mass communication.
Then the internet comes along and we let the oligarchs control monopolies and shape the narrative however they want.
As if the oligarchs didn't also own the newspapers, news outlets and radio stations...
The FCC and SEC should be regulating all of these recent media mergers, but they are not because Trump tells them not to. In fact it’s the opposite, Trump tells these agencies to threaten media companies to alter content to fit his agenda, see Colbert, 60 Minutes, etc.
