      uh, why? It seems like a free market economy is exactly where a free market press would work. Companies might buy news companies, but thanks to no government interaction, other news companies can pop up, make money because they deliver a service people want, and then grow.

        Why would any top company allow others to challenge their market share? Why does the trend under capitalism (where economic power stands above political power, and governments) tend towards increasing monopolization / fewer companies, in every industry?

          They might not like it but it’s what happens anyway. I don’t have many examples off the top of my head, but I do know of at least one YouTuber who gives updates on geopolitics.
