Hmm...maybe billionaires like Bezos and Murdoch should not be in charge of our national news. How can we have a "free press" when it's actually owned and run by the ultra-rich who are only interested in their personal welfare? Seems that America's freedom in regard to the press has been purchased right out from under us.

It's clear that we need to change our media ownership laws. They shouldn't be owned by overseas owners. They shouldn't dominate media markets. They should NEVER mix opinion and news. And they should never be owned by someone with so many conflicts of interest.
That's what I do, now. I have a dozen -- all outstanding experts in their own fields -- and get virtually all of the news that I need to know. It's such a relief.

It's unfortunate that newspapers can't all be employee owned. Might get more honesty & integrity, then being owned by the whims of an oligarch.
Read Substack journalists. There are so many good ones.
