1. We need to be busting up these oligarchies, not allowing for monopolies!

Media and banking need to be busted up in the worst way. One company owns all of the TV stations in my town. They even share 1 meteorologist! You hear the same playlist on several radio stations, variety has gone out of the door.

4. Bernie is, as usual, right. Media consolidation is killing democracy.

Reagan started the deregulation craze, but the 1996 Telecom Act cinched it with the media.

We cannot survive as a democratic republic with a corporate-owned consolidated media.

Hope everyone takes Bernie's lead and fights this abomination.



Seriously.
