Now that is a quality post and the proper way to have a constructive debate. Thank you for a breath of fresh air.
I would say, let the 99% get their news there. I would rather be in the 1%.
Without getting too political, in regards to election opinions that goes both ways depending on who you ask. Left thinks right bought the election via social media and Russia. Right thinks left suppressed their speech and ads. I think it’s all nonsense crying by a bunch of spoiled entitled brats on both sides to see who can yell “that’s not fair” the loudest.
So while I understand your point, I don’t think it gives the general public’s ability to think enough credit.
To the topic at hand of the break up of the companies...as you alluded to, government intervention would likely make the problem 10x worse because the 99% getting their news from that source would get whatever the government wants them to get. Technically could they do something that would in fact be beneficial? Sure. But they can’t help themselves and would manage to screw it up much worse than it is now. (In my humble opinion)
And if something must be done, the government is the only way at this point because we live in a free market economy where as much as people bitch and moan about Facebook, Google, Amazon they aren’t about to give them up either.
It’s like the story of the dog laying on the nail, it might hurt, but not bad enough.
