I know hardly anyone likes the MSM (myself included), however is this stat so bad? Is it anything unusual for any other industry?

Mature industries consolidate - its just a fundamental nature of the growth process. How many corporations control packaged chicken? cell phones? cement?

No doubt the voices behind such "X mega-corps control Y" are in fact just advocating for legislation changes to mandate that they get a seat at the table.

The very concept of "MSM" is a bit of an anachronism in this age. Not even sure why we should talk about it. There are youtube channels broadcast from a garage that get more daily views than Anderson Cooper ever will. Best thing is to just switch off the TV and let the dinosaurs slowly die...
