Deterioration of News

In 1983, in the USA there were 50 news companies. By 1992 mergers and acquisitions had reduced that to less than 30. By 2004, only an effective monopoly of 6 companies were left. It is no wonder Americans have such an impoverished view of what is going on in the world. Murdoch/FOX, one of the remaining players, treats news as infotainment and even won a supreme court decision to let them completely make it up.
