So just imagine we let one man, and his company, buy most of the papers in our regional cities and small towns.
And that man was named Rupert Murdoch.
And that man decided to shut down the print editions, and instead put those papers behind the paywalls of his big right-wing metropolitan tabloids.
Want to read the local newspaper in Lismore? It’s now behind the Daily Telegraph paywall.
And then that man gutted the editorial team for each online newspaper to just one person.
And then used generative AI to centrally churn out 3000 local news articles per week across all his local publications, overseen by four human journalists.

@ajsadauskas @australia Virtually all of our newspapers in the US either applaud the Alt-Right or appeal to both sides (when one party let it slip they want to eradicate Trans people, they stopped having a side.)
The number of newspapers and magazines that support the left are dwindling and facing closure or buyout. Television is facing a similar capture by the right thanks to runaway mergers and sales.
