It really doesn't do to have one company controlling too much news, it is already an extremely powerful tool and we have quite enough tabloid television too.

True. Would Silvio Beriusconi have survived so long if he didn't own the majority of the Italian media? (Well, maybe in Italy he would??).
If this empire grows like it's planned to we will have a KINGMAKER. In fact, perhaps with the empire as it is now we already have one.
