Media Ownership and Bias
In this chapter, they discuss the issue of media ownership and the potential influence it can have on journalistic institutions. They compare the reactions to Bernie Sanders' suggestion of bias at The Washington Post to the concerns raised about Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter. They question why there seems to be a blind spot when it comes to the influence of Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post, and discuss the general influence of media owners on editorial processes and hiring decisions.
