3…2…1… countdown to an ignorant Birdman/Yayydork/Itj/Hashtag post about how there is “nothing of substance” to my post, which is 100% substance and grounded in CFA-style top-down analysis.
I don’t take issue with your “analysis” generally pa, its that you’re incredibly rude and disrespectful to people here. We’ve been over this.

Original posts like this show a lack of industry analysis ability/knowledge.
The traditional media industry is dominated by five corporations (an oligopoly), 1) 21st/NewsCorp, 2) CBS/Viacom, 3) TW, 4) Comcast, 5) Disney . For example Fox/WSJ/NYPost are one entity, as are MSNBC/NBC/CNBC (they are just brands, to spread the same propaganda, to different demographics). So you only have five entities, and oligopoly 101 tells you that players watch each other very closely and mimic offerings (obvious strategic and cost cutting reasons for that). And in this case these five players are also associated with the USG (because corporations are legal-entity gov creations, and because “news” corps have dotted lines connecting to gov for “national security” reasons).
Then you have a bunch of “independent” small budget names who are just corporate relays (they just parrot back the narratives the corporations originate, with slightly different spin, they don’t have the funds to originate much).
I’ve pointed this out before, it’s industry analysis 101. This is a CFA forum. Not sure why you people can’t learn.
But Alex Jones gets just as much viewers as some of those shows. And I’m not so sure his budget is all that small. Neither is Vox
