Jim Hightower on corporate ownership of journalism
Not only have hundreds of papers been eliminated, but half of the remaining dailies are now owned by Wall Street predators like SoftBank, the Japanese hedge fund that controls the huge USA Today/Gannett chain.

@Madken65 Adding salt to wound is the reliance by local officials routing "News" information via FB, X, and other vile tools.
Their interest is not in your town or quality journalism, but in slashing news coverage to jack up their profits. Such absentee owners have eliminated nearly 60% of America's reporters and other newsroom staff in just 20 years.
