UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

Propaganda works, and we really should have written a few more laws to protect independent media before everything calcified into place

Yeah, that sounds about right.
Do you ever wonder if we’re in hell?
we did have some media-ownership limits couple decades back…
Bush and Clinton got rid of those
hence why people say both parties are the same…neolibs and republicans have always had the same end-goal
Oh… Wow, I really don’t hate Clinton enough, he really just cut all the straps holding the country together, huh?
