Rule No. 1 of fighting fascism — do not obey in advance — crumbles as major newspapers kill endorsements to appease Trump.

They might be obeying, but you don’t need to.

    we need 70’s style regulation. no more than one media outlet ownership for each area. heck I don’t even think we should allow a company to own both a paper and a tv station in the same area anymore.

        Thing is if we taxed corporate income the same as personal and had a tiered system that would go up all the way to the maximum any entity makes it would do that naturally. Basically it would be a shocking system where the better you make money the harder it is to make more of it. Kinda like how major league baseball plays a harder game than t-ball.

            I mean we could but what im saying is companies could only grow so big because it would just be to hard to make money at some point that we would want to titrate to make sure no company becomes a monopoly. Honestly I think we should outlaw holding companies and such. Only allow stock to be owned individually by individuals.

              because it would just be to hard to make money at some point that we would want to titrate to make sure no company becomes a monopoly.

              Sure, however having multiple avenues of preventing megacorps from forming is better. It’s easy for a powerful corp to undo one or two regulations, but not so much if it is a cohesive system of regulations.

              Honestly I think we should outlaw holding companies and such.

              Absolutely agreed.

              Only allow stock to be owned individually by individuals.

              I’d say we should go a step further and kill the stock market in it’s entirety through a moratorium on IPOs.

                  I prefer companies owned by many people over one person or family owning the company.

                  Agreed, which is why the stock market needs to go. The only way for labor to truly own their workplace is if they’re the only ones who can control it (within reason). A stock market allows for the rich to single-handedly buy up a majority of the shares and control a company.

                  Instead, every company should eventually be turned into co-op nonprofits.

      Hello from Canada.

      Rogers owns half the news, the entertainment, the telecommunications, the internet, and the cable.

      Bell owns the other half.

          OK. CBC has. An hour of local news. With some entertainment. And one news channel. They don’t control the wires. Or the phones. Or the networks. Or banks, or sports teams.
