Not good. We need #AntiTrust enforcements. There are more pressing issues here than the availability of entertainment. More such consolidation is affecting the quality/ content of our news, and skewing our politics. The trend is worsening: far TOO FEW powerful people have too much influence. Newscorp/ Fox: owned by rightwing Murdochs, NBC News: owned by Comcast, ABC News: owned by Disney, CNN News: owned by Warner/ Discovery & billionaire (Republican) John Malone, CBS News: now THIS. Those who say that these super wealthy, often political right-leaning owners don't affect their news divisions are naive. https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/media-consolidation-means-less-local-news-more-right-wing-slant
