Media giants

I found a really cool representation about how the media is dominated by a handful of corporations. Follow the link below and you should be able to enlarge the picture.

I really don't like that our media is dominated by just 6 companies, news should come from as many independent sources as possible in order to ensure a fair representation. If these media giants were to misreport the news or fail to provide the full story. How would we ever even know? That's the danger of having all the news coming from just a few sources there is no system of checks and balances to ensure honest reporting of the facts.
