Haha, this is funny. While media concentration is a valid issue, a perspective that holds a meannigful possibility that "5 people" own the media show such a total lack of knowledge about media ownership, it would be hilarious if not so sad. Major media, TV stations, major newspapers and magazines, key internet sites, radio, satelite radio, satellite and cable TV, film and TV producers / distributors, book publishers, music companies, etc are virtually all owned by large corporations, not individuals. Some corporations do have individuals with substantial power -- Redstone, Murdoch, etc. But world media, and/or US media ownership is quite a bit more diverse than five corporations and certainly is not controlled by five individuals. But for one to have such a, IMO, limited "robber barron" conspiratoral perspective of "five media rulers" is telling. From your rant, I almost expect the next point to be is that "the majority of these five people are Jews. And we can't let this to continue." While I am not linking your cooment to such anti-semetic "directions,  the point is, bigoted and conspiracy arguments often have simiar "total disconnects" from reality in their logic/fact chain. I hope you were not attributing the statement about 5 people owning the  major media to me!
