They only have 91% because people like their product.
I honestly wouldn't give two hoots which baron had control of the press, as long as I was happy with what they offered.
If they didn't, I wouldn't buy it. I'd chose an alternative. Which there always is, happily, in the free market economy of the western world.
If other people were similarly unhappy with what was being offered, and sought a better service, their market share would go down.
This will continue unless anyone's planning we all read a state run, Pravda style newspaper, and any competitors are outlawed.
