The Bloodbath at Washington Post Is All Jeff Bezos’s Fault

Billionaires like Bezos have no real use for the free press, particularly when it runs the risk of alienating Donald Trump.

Started thinking more about media concentration after #FediCollective Brew Build 2.

Someone raised the question: how do decentralized platforms respond when most of the global feed is shaped by a handful of corporations?

It’s not just about hosting your own server or using open protocols. It’s about rethinking how stories are made, shared, and sustained outside corporate ecosystems.

Are we building new media, or just federating the old one?

Would love to hear from folks working on federated zines, podcasts, video hubs, alt-distribution tools (anything that challenges the default).

Drop links, ideas, critiques. Let’s map the alternatives. Thanks!

🧵 The Big 7 media giants shaping what most of the world watches, streams, and reads

1. Comcast: NBC, Universal, Sky, Peacock — cable, broadband, and Hollywood rolled into one

2. Disney: Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, ABC — nostalgia and your kids’ favorite shows

3. Warner Bros.: Discovery, HBO, CNN, Max — drama, news, and nature docs

4. Paramount: CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon — big in broadcast and streaming

5. Sony: Movies, music, PlayStation — cross-cultural dominance

6. Netflix: Originals, algorithms, binge culture — the global studio in your pocket

7. Amazon: Prime Video, MGM, Twitch — retail entertainment meets surveillance capitalism

They own the pipelines and the stories.

What does #decentralization mean when 7 companies shape the global feed?

Can federated media offer real alternatives?

The decades-long trend that eased the way for Jimmy Kimmel's suspension
The long-shrinking number of media outlets and platforms has made it easier for the Trump admnistration to exercise control over the remaining outlets.

"In 1983, 90% of American media was owned by 50 media companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, it is just 5."

Pro-Trump billionaires are taking over U.S. media. Kimmel and Colbert may just be the start.

A crucial factor in ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for comments about the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk: decades of media consolidation under wealthy owners.

The Murdochs feud like petty royals, but their empire keeps poisoning democracy. Whether it’s Fox News radicalizing the US, Sky News fearmongering in the UK, or the Australian grinding axes here, their media machine exists to distort, divide, and entrench power.
And yet, as they bicker, the damage is done:

The Murdochs are stuck in a multibillion-dollar family feud. The empire they’re fighting over is flourishing

Why is a pair of legacy media companies controlled by a dysfunctional dynasty so popular with investors?
