Media Monopoly (Score 2)

Yes, there are lots of radio stations, tv stations, etc but that's not the point. Look at who controls them. The majority of our media is controlled by 10 corporations (it might even be less now). These corporations all have the similar interests. Do you really think you are going to hear critism of wars on NBC and CBS who are controlled by arms makers Westinghouse and General Electric. These media sources are not only controlled by the company that owns them but also by their advertisers interests. Not to mention the theory of "objectivity" in reporting (that all of the corporate media follows) which relies on official sources which are mostly the government and corporations. I recommend reading "The Media Monopoly" by Ben Bakdikian and "Manufacturing Consent" by Chomsky and Herman.
