Most major #media and #socialMedia in the #USA is now right wing controlled
The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks
Watch this video of Peter #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down
Now dream of that in the #US
To get there, you fucking #vote, idiots

Analysis Summary
US media ownership is becoming more concentrated among right-wing figures — more than half of major news site visits go to seven corporations, with Murdoch and Ellison-controlled outlets capturing major share. Magyar's announcement to suspend Hungarian state media broadcasts after his election victory is real, though the analogy is imprecise: Magyar is dismantling a government-aligned propaganda apparatus, while US consolidation involves private oligarchs reshaping outlets toward right-wing editorial lines. The core concern — concentrated ownership narrowing the political range of mainstream media — is documented, but the post skips the complicating reality that traditional US outlets (Times, WSJ) remain structurally independent from the newer right-wing players, and that platform consolidation doesn't automatically mean uniform messaging.
Claims Analysis (4)
“Most major media and social media in the USA is now right wing controlled”
Partial truth with significant nuance omitted. Right-wing figures control several major outlets (Ellison-Skydance/CBS, Murdoch empire, Musk's X), but ownership is distributed across multiple actors, not monolithic.
“Traditional media were dying capitalist entities purchased by plutocrats who put their goons on managing editor desks”
Ellison, Musk, Murdoch acquisitions documented. CBS News remade under Bari Weiss after Skydance merger. MSNBC staff purges documented. Language hyperbolic but captures documented pattern.
“Peter Magyar announced he is shutting down Hungary's state media”
Multiple sources confirm Magyar announced temporary suspension of state media news broadcasts pending new media law and authority establishment.
“The implication that similar media consolidation by right-wing figures in the US should prompt action via voting”
Political opinion built on verified factual foundations about consolidation patterns. Underlying facts verified; conclusion is interpretive.
