Trump’s executive order stripped agencies of their independence by making them directly accountable to a part of the presidency: the office of management and budget (OMB). The OMB is led by Russell Vought, founder of the rightwing Center for Renewing America (CRA) thinktank and one of the primary authors of the Project 2025 plan for an authoritarian takeover of government.

You're telling me the sources I mentioned are all owned by the same companies and push the same agenda?

e:

I found this with more info:
https://www.webfx.com/blog/internet/the-6-companies-that-own-almost-all-media-infographic/

not sure of the credibility of the source but it seems correct. I see a lot of television news and entertainment channels split up between several companies.

i'm not saying there's no issues and that these companies don't deserve to be broken up, but railing against "the media" is vague and useless to me
