While your analysis of the press is correct, watch out for Google.
Its motives are not purely profit. The corporate motto is “Do no evil” which, given the far left views of their founders, means “support the left.”
And they do that. They have rejected ads attacking MoveOn.org. Their news aggregator site has an large collection of tiny left wing news sources that it seems to pull from. A search on a hot topic often brings up a “you never heard of it” lefty web site as the first link, with MSM and other more popular sites farther down, and conservative sites… well, I’ve never seen one there.
Google IS dangerous. It has almost monopoly power in controlling the information people find on the internet, and vast amounts of money. The free market created Google, but at the moment, Google’s world is far from free. Thus it is not just dangerous to the tired old news elite, but also to anyone seeking information.
Furthermore, News Corp is hardly representative of the MSM. It is more profit motivated, as Rupert Murdoch does not adhere to the media model of Bill Moyers or the rest of the MSM. So if Google is dangerous to News Corp, it’s not because it is threatening the elite MSM’s control of the dialog.
