Whoever controls and owns the media separates democracy from dictatorship by oligopoly


For those concerned with oligopoly control of media, there are some very pertinent recent articles and opinion pieces. The dire warning: he who owns and controls the message controls minds and public opinion.  My own views of oligopoly, and another large body of references, go to the updated version, 1/16/2025,MUFTIC FORUM BLOG: New resistance opportunity arises: Rule by oligarchs and class warfare updated 1 14 and 16 2025  the day after Biden's farewell address warning us of oligopolies destroying democracy.  The free press is key to America becoming aware of the danger and the fallout that will also harm the very lives of American citizens.  Without a free press, voters will not even know that they have been hurt, much less mount a resistance to such control.   Here are some references to this issue.
