    The major news outlets only dominate because Americans consume them.

    Independent media exists. Private Eye here being a perfect example. It prevails because British consumers purchase it and similar independent media.

    Your comment implies Americans are powerless to change anything when that’s far from the truth.

    P.S. I and many others hate the US for far more than mere brain dead bigotry based on a junk food diet of algorithmic hate. It has caused unquantifiable death and suffering around the world for decades.

      Sorry, do you think billionaires own all these media companies because they’re profitable? Bezos didn’t buy WaPo because “Americans consume it.”

        He did buy it because Americans consumed it. Now they consume what he prints. Well, the ones still reading it.
