If you can then I agree with the second sentence, but not with the first, because people tend to accept what's already in place. Especially in the U.S., where we assume that because there's no govt. regulation of the press, that it must, "by definition" be free of any other influence or control. It's of the greatest interest, for example, that the NY Times, the most influential news medium in the U.S., has been controlled by a single family since 1896.
