7. Another angle I had not considered.

With the consolidation of news entities, the intrepid reporter can't say "if you don't run this I'll take it to someone who will", because his boss owns the other guy, too. I wonder if there is a blacklist out there, and if a journalist crosses the line he'll never work for any of the big five, meaning 95% of all jobs are closed to him. All that leaves is the alternative press and the internet, both dismissed as amateurs by the MSM.

How much of it is the journalists, and how much is the owners?
