My point was that overturning age-old ant-trust laws in media squelched local voices and replaced them with "corporate speak," which is what we now have.
I used "corporate leftism" as an example because that's what we got. But I would also have had issues no matter what the corporation's thrust was -- be it Buddhism, Born Again Christianity, or the alt-right.
Those anti-monopoly laws were put into place to keep local media local. Now they're gone, thanks to Bill Clinton and his cronies.
