Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump promises he’d break up the few corporations that dominate important industries and are working overtime to influence the vote.
“Over a hundred years ago, a pro-business Teddy Roosevelt busted up more than 40 oil, railroad, steel and other ‘trusts’ that were wielding their rapacious monopoly power to gouge consumers and interfere with the efficient functioning of the American economy,” senior economic adviser Peter Navarro said in a statement. “Donald Trump will break up the new media conglomerate oligopolies that have gained enormous control over our information, intrude into our personal lives, and in this election, are attempting to unduly influence America’s political process.”
Navarro also blasted the large corporations who shut down U.S. manufacturing bases, ship their jobs overseas, and funnel money to candidates who keep the arrangement in place:
The very corporations that have gained from shipping America’s factories and jobs offshore are the very same media conglomerates now pushing Hillary Clinton’s agenda. She is the official candidate of the multinational ruling elite.

When 5 people own 95% of the programming, that is a monopoly on "truth". You have people so powerful that they can't truthfully present the news without conflicts of interest. Break up the monopoly. We limit how many radio stations in one area can be owned by one company. Do it with all mediums.
