I live in Cincinnati OH, and have access to TV, Cable and the Internet.
On Cable/satelitte tv, I get media from the USA, England, Japan and Canada. The Canadian broadcasts rebroadcast media from Russia, China, and Mexico. I don't watch but could also watch media pieces from India, Germany and most likely France and Italy.
For news, I read a number of global newspaper sources off the web. Can't read just one source, but these are all web versions of national newspapers, each witht heir own bias'.
Yes, concentration of media sources in the USA is a serious concern, but I don't think we are resticted anymore in what one countries media is saying. The biggest problem I have is the radio in the car is lame because all the radio stations play the same playlist (so I listen to NPR and play CD's:-).
Now, if the FCC starts restricting access to foreign media, then I think I will have a concern!
