Does Mega Media Control 90% of Content?

smitty777 writes "FastCo has an intriguing article on the vast control of our media by the mega corporations. In the article, Cliff Kuang disputes such claims by the the Frugal Dad that the revenue for the Big Six was over $275.9 billion, and that these companies are in cahoots to control our viewing. Just how much do these companies control?"

    I don't see the price of competent writing, directing, acting, sets, and the like plummeting.

    Robert Rodriguez, Shane Carruth and hundreds of others would like to have a word with you.

    The same Robert Rodriguez who had sumbit to medical research studies to come up with funding for his first film?
