This summarizes well how we got here. Decades of failure to enforce antitrust have created the 900 lb gorillas (and probably more than a couple billionaires) that are either too big too fail or big enough to effectively bully and/or bribe their way into getting what they want.

Newsom might believe he "saved jobs in California," but that's simply not going to be the real-world outcome. The real world outcome is going to be mass layoffs, higher prices, shittier film and television, and a mass media apparatus under the
even greater direct control of authoritarian-allied oligarchs. That's the fun thing about antitrust reform: if you actually enforce antitrust law (which the U.S. government doesn't do because it's too corrupt to function), you get markets stocked with a more diverse array of small and mid-sized companies
that lack the scale to threaten government oversight and accountability.

Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America.
