"A small cartel of billionaires and conglomerates dominates the U.S. media landscape. Through a history of mergers and acquisitions, they’ve concentrated their control over much of what Americans see, read and hear. Free Press rates the independence of each of these giants and analyzes their ability to defend democracy at a time of domestic and international authoritarianism."

"The Media Capitulation Index is a tracker that rates media conglomerates 'on a scale from "independent" to "vulnerable" to "compromising" to "capitulating" to "obeying" to "propaganda."' Free Press has also released a companion report: A More Perfect Media, with deeper analysis."

"The control of media by oligarchs – and the dictators’ control of the oligarchs – has severely limited the availability of trustworthy news in countries like Hungary and Russia. And increasingly in the United States, as evidenced by the recent capitulation of CBS News.

The trend lines for American journalism are alarming."

Will journalism become impossible in the U.S.?

Trump’s war on the free press follows foreign dictators’ playbook

Stop the Presses

"Truth-tellers get fired, while those who normalize the rise of fascism get ahead. Journalists who cover White House briefings have to compete with ringers in their midst – right-wing propagandists asking absurd questions. And official statistics that news outlets have long relied upon have been undermined by Trump’s dishonesty.

It’s reasonable to fear that real journalism will become impossible in the United States."

I would've liked to see Free Press rate The Free Press, but I guess we're lucky the latter is not powerful enough.
