The article doesn't really show how this situation has evolved over time. Before cable didn't we essentially only have CBS, NBC, and ABC?

When I see other sources like OANN, or the disinformation being peddled from some corners, I am not sure what is a better alternative.

These media companies also employ a large number of people with diverse opinions. To suggest that a small group of elites are controlling the output of these companies is far fetched.

For some reason, a certain segment of Americans, have lost trust in these institutions that have been there all along. I fear the alternative.
