I think the modern consolidation of digital age mass media has been novel in that the media isn’t just newspapers, magazines, or tv. In the past, it was consolidation of print media, because there was no internet or tv. Then came consolidation of tv media, which was probably easier because the delivery method was already oligarch-owned. Internet opened up all new means of mass media, and they weren’t necessarily oligarch owned when they began i.e. blogs and apps and all that. First, the blogs/sites/apps had to gain a following. Only then were they ripe for takeover because they had reach. So I guess then…yea…once it becomes mass media it is taken over, so maybe I am agreeing that all mass media is right/oligarch owned. On the rise to becoming ‘mass’ media, though, not necessarily.
