It's why I look for foreign news services like Reuters or the BBC when I want to find out what is going on here.
Agreed, except they're not really six corporations anymore. They all own so much stock in each other that they're all, basically, one, big, monopolistic corporation. They control the media and Washington. It really worries me because I don't know how to realistically fix it.
