I think you are conflating "media" with journalists, pundits, or personalities. I'm not saying only the billionaires are culpable. Instead, I'm pointing out that "media" as an institution is a mouthpiece for billionaire propaganda, as opposed to an independent institution that has been traditionally viewed (whether accurate or not) as a purveyor of "truth."

    Independent journalism has evolved over the centuries from pamphleteers to scandal sheets to idiot bloggers and influencers. At every stage, there has been some good journalism, but also at every stage, 90% has been crap. I'm not sure it's possible to quantify how journalistic integrity scales with the size of the organization employing them, but I sincerely doubt that there's ever been journalism at any scale that hasn't been mainly horseshit.
