We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings.

CBS News is gone;
CNN seems about to follow.
The Los Angeles Times installed an AI-powered “bias meter” to warn readers against taking some of what they read in the paper’s columns at face value.

the right-wing Sinclair network is taking over everywhere,
and the Trump Federal Communications Commission is lending a hand.
