Why do you insist on oversimplifying news media into 'media' and considering all of is under the ownership of authoritarians? You do realise that Alax Jones is funded by authoritarians, don't you, and everything he says is a lie, meant to support the Koch brothers and the extreme right? Study the media bias chart in my post above. Authoritarians can only gain power if they can convince you that all of the news media is the same, or that news media that do not support the disinformation of Alax Jones are themselves the corrupt. And if you don't believe me, ask others.
