It's sad.
Well, that's why you have to subscribe to this YouTube channel because independent media has never been so important.

thank President Trump and FCC Chairman Carr for ushering in this new kind of wave of media.
But the truth is, is that this is just a monopolization of media on the local level.
We see it with the Ellisons, with CBS and soon CNN.
Now we're seeing it with Nexstar and Tegna impacting local TV.
Unfortunately, it's going to impact older Americans the most because most young Americans don't watch traditional cable, local TV.
But older Americans who rely on local TV, like your local affiliates, you're going to have changes in your coverage.

One silver lining, which is eight attorneys general have already filed a lawsuit to block this on antitrust-related grounds.
And I think that they'll actually win here because one company cannot control all of this.
It's just too much.
So we'll see what happens, but it's terrifying right now.
