Media Monopoly Video (MV)

In the corporate towers, deals are made
Disney, Comcast, News Corp's blade
A handful of giants, control the view
Consolidation, limits what's new

Telecom Act '96, the spark that lit the flame
Deregulation game, media never the same
Local voices drowned, under corporate might
A homogenized news, day and night

Networks bought, perspectives sold
Independent voices, stories untold
Public discourse shaped by a few
Monopolized media, curating the news

Media monopoly, truth in their hands
Ownership concentrated, across the lands
Voices silenced, diversity lost
In the quest for control, at democracy's cost

Disney's empire, from ABC to ESPN
Content controlled, by the corporate pen
Comcast's reach, NBC in their fold
Narratives dictated, by the stories they mold

News Corp's influence, Fox on the screen
Editorial bias, shaping the scene
Agenda setting, framing the debates
Public opinion swayed, by the media gates

Local news, a dying breed
Swallowed by giants, fulfilling their greed
A narrow lens, on a wide world
In the hands of a few, the truth is swirled

Media monopoly, truth in their hands
Ownership concentrated, across the lands
Voices silenced, diversity lost
In the quest for control, at democracy's cost

Regulation fades, consolidation grows
Fewer voices, in the media flows
Telecom Act's legacy, control in a few
In this media landscape, what can we do

J Rhymes here, to break the spell
Exposing the truth, the stories they tell
Stay informed, question what's fed
In the fight for truth, forge ahead
