Please remember that this happens everywhere, not just the US.
In Switzerland, the right-wing politician and billionaire «Blocher» family is buying up one local journal after the other[1][2].
At the same time, the right-wing parties are denouncing and actively fighting public media by trying to take away their funds[3]. It makes sense, if you are a billionaire and recognize journalism as the fourth estate that it is, you want to push it as far into the "free market" as you can, because that is where money has the most unfettered power, and as someone with the infinite money glitch unlocked, you can reign freely and control the narrative.
Getting rid of public media and taking over private outlets has been the fascists' long-game for a while [4].

@hertg I will never forget that Australia damned the entire world to alt-right propaganda by unleashing the disgusting Murdoch family on us all. #uspol #propaganda #foxpropagandamachine
