The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world's elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite. By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a "standardization of human thought".
Which is why this concentration of media ownership has to be broken up by legislative means as soon as practicable. Australia had a media diversification policy which was junked back in the 1980's.
Problem: How can this be accomplished when the media has the power to destroy the career of any politician in short order and the politicians and their parties fear the wrath of the media more than anything else?
There appears to be no solution within the parameters of our existing political system.
