I don't think that it is a conspiracy if no one is hiding it. Your analysis seems spot on to me. The media is controlled by an increasingly small number of increasingly larger companies. Larger companies tend to be in bed with the government and other major companies because they can influence them more and vice-versa.
Theoretically, we have far more media outlets because of the rise of the Internet, but most of the smaller outlets for information on the web use the major media outlets as a starting point for their work, either for or against. I think that that dynamic has a significant effect and the proliferation of social media tends to amplify the effect of the funneling of those smaller number of traditional media/political outlets into a pro/con/right/left crowd and drowns out a lot in between.
