This statement assumes all newspapers and media outlets write their own news. Of course, this was never true, but more recently becomes far less true. My local paper has almost zero original content for National or Int'l news. Even if the owners cared to intervene in content, the eccomonics or using other news sources would destroy the concern getting anywhere.
don't you watch the Simpson's?
