Reply to comment by zartified in Shadows of Liberty (2012) - How media manipulation and censorship work. 90% plus of the media in the USA are controlled by five big for-profit-conglomerats, creating a media monopoly that manipulates our political, economical, and social world.

I believe this started with the Telecommunications Act of 96. (I plan on watching this later, so maybe it's mentioned). Media used to hold political figures and the wealthy somewhat accountable. Now those guys just flat out run media and use it as a tool to divide and shape opinions in order to maintain the status quo.
