The ‘media’ are a monoploy- ologopoly owned by global companies which are dependent on communist china.
Comcast owns NBC/MSNBC. Disney owns ABC. CBS is owned by Viacom, with massive movie and entertainment businesses. CNN is owned by AT&T’s Warner Media a worldwide entertainment conglomerate.
The companies that own the major news networks, NBC, ABC, and CBS, all depend on China for massive revenue. On the print side, U.S. newspapers like the Washington Post and New York Times have been criticized for running paid China Daily inserts, paid by many million$ (~$20 million known) https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/chinas-long-tentacles-extend-deep-into-american-media/
Comcast Corporation is not only a participator in increasingly close cultural exchanges, but also the contributor and beneficiary of deeper economic exchanges between China and the US. The NBC and the Universal Studios Theme Park in Beijing are witnesses of the in-depth development of Sino-US economic and trade relations and increasingly close cultural exchanges.

Concerted Media reluctance to criticize china is apparent.
Our “free press” should not be concentrated in a few giant companies dependent on the good graces of foreign governments which hate us, and which therefor publish chinese propaganda. The protections of the First Amendment are only for a diversified, FreePress, not conspiring propaganda monopolies.
The antitrust laws used to prevent monopoly and oligopoly ownership of news media, even in a single city. The political bribers stopped that.
The justice department Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission should sue to force Disney, Comcast, AT&T, Viacom et al to distribute shares of their news divisions to their shareholders (not sell the companies to the Chinese or Soros…), to remove chinese control of our fake news oligopoly.
