1. El Control Oligárquico y el Fin de la Prensa Libre.

- Control over a significant share of the dwindling number of media outlets would enable you to effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of you and other plutocrats.
2. La Complicidad de los Medios Tradicionales (NYT, WaPo, CBS).
Medios históricamente respetados como The New York Times (NYT) y The Washington Post (WaPo) son criticados por su "sanewashing" (normalización), su enfoque en el acceso y las ganancias, y por no enfrentar directamente las amenazas autoritarias, traicionando así su rol como "cuarto poder".
