Let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Monopolies should be eliminated by the government because monopolies eliminate competition. But even among five or six massive and powerful companies, there is still competition and the government should not be able to interfere.

Monopolies allow a corporation to ignore the desires of the public; the public has little to no influence over the prices or quality of a product because consumers have no other choices. In the media, there are many choices to be made. The public has access to information and media from different sources, and that is all that the government has a right to ensure.

As long as competition exists in the media, the demands of the public will continue to influence the programming broadcasted by conglomerates.
