Now that Musk has purchased Twitter the new media is suddenly concerned about billionaires owning the media. According to the NY Times 15 billionaires own Americas new media companies. The question remains why did it take so long before this became big news. In the past the only complaint was against Rupert Murdoch who owns Fox News. It appears that ownership of news media is only a concern when the owner is not a liberal. Some say that is because that liberals stick to the truth as opposed to disinformation found in other areas. Others say that truth is in the eye of the beholder. Many feel the more news sources the better and the first amendment allows anything that is not illegal to be published leaving it up to the individual to determine what is their truth.
