Creepy Corporate Media

Found this interesting non-profit that deals with monitoring media ownership and bias. Looks like it will be an interesting project.

Quote:Large broadcasting groups have recently been suspected of massive consolidation of resources, pooling resources to reduce the cost of producing stories. Unfortunately, this reduces the diversity of coverage that reaches the viewer, with multiple local channels sharing the same selection of news, pruned by actors often unbeknownst to them. The lack of diversity and accountability can be worrisome, particularly when this content is ideologically charged, as has recently been exposed by John Oliver in his show [i]Last Week Tonight[/i] (HBO). This surreal footage shows journalists all reading the same scripted text, provided by Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a large conglomerate of local sources, about ... the lack of diversity in the news.
