How would regulators, governments, politicians and advocates feel if newspapers were unregulated and allowed to print and publish whatever they wanted?

How would everyone react if Muskrat owned the single largest newspaper in the country that everyone read and used every day and no one not even the government had a say in what was published or spread. What would people say if that single newspaper was the primary source of information for the majority of everyone in the country?

Why the hell do we allow a big corporate social media company free reign over and unregulated control to provide citizen access to news and information?

@ininewcrow @Sunshine Because some politicians made a deal with the social media devils and got ahead because of it. Now even if they werent compromized they would want to lose their competetive advantage would they? For the good of the people.
