Infographic: Six companies control 90% of the U.S. Media

The below picture sums it up the best, who controls the media and thus who control the information.

Stations haven't been playing "Mrs. Robinson" for 32 years just because everyone likes Simon & Garfunkel (although I really do love them!). It's because 80% of stations' playlists match all across the country. So much for thinking that media exposes us to new and different ideas, eh?
