94. And you can thank GW Bush for all those

billionaire owners... except, there are only a few of them. Which is what Bush allowed by consolidating all the media and ruling that one billionaire can own any number of different types of media outlets. What used to be kept separate (for the most part) all of a sudden became one big orgasmic blob for these guys. They can own print, digital, and video all at the same time, and make sure that what they want communicated gets told across the entire spectrum.

trump is absolutely worse than GW ever could have been, but that really isn't saying much. GW just truly enabled trump.
