The CPB doesn’t even own those entities, it only distributes money to them, money that only makes up a portion of their revenue. And the CPB sure as hell doesn’t own “local news” lol. Where’s Sinclair Broadcasting on this chart? Where’s SiriusXM? This clip-art is straight-up misinformation

I’m surprised YouTube and Google News are listed as news outlets. They don’t create news content, they aggregate it. Arguments can be made about biasing which content is shown first, but not about the content itself, which is owned by the other entities on the list

Except some content is produced independently (of those outlets) by “influencers”, hence it makes sense to list them. Furthermore, I bet that for a huge proportion of the later generations these influencers are the main avenue to consuming News… specially if we added tiktoks, X, and all the crap.

I think it depends on the intent in the groupings. Is it money flow? Then it makes sense. Is it editorial influence? Then it seems to make less sense.

This is very incomplete. National Amusements, News Corp., Disney, etc own a ton of other companies.

Disney owns the majority, but the board of directors is evenly split between Disney and National Geographic Society.

Verizon no longer owns either company listed under it. Sold huffpo in 2020 and yahoo in 2021. Idk about the rest of the list but it’s a little out of date.
