Back Porch Files: The Illusion of Competition in Local TV
from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left
We spend a lot of time arguing about media bias—but what if we’re asking the wrong question? As one company expands its reach across local TV stations, fewer and fewer voices are shaping what millions of Americans see and hear every day. This episode takes a closer look at how media consolidation works, why it matters more than most people realize, and how it quietly affects everything from local elections to your nightly news. And once you see it, it’s hard to unsee. Visit the podcast website at https://www.neighborontheleft.com
