Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The solidarity of the media in response to Trump reveals a fundamental truth: The most successful way to respond to a megalomaniac like him is to unite against him. It's also apparently, at least in this instance, one of the better ways to silence his bloviating.
