Conglomeration
Wakka Wakka Wakka Wakka Cherry! Anyways, in many ways, conglomeration is like Pacman, chomping on all the other companies until they all belong to you. This wouldn't be so bad, except that when a single person or group of people own just about everything, the content coming from each individual channel or magazine just starts to run together with everything else their conglomeration owns. This lack of diversity causes media to become dull and boring, with every show the same exact thing. Another problem with it is that eventually, the conglomeration starts to become a monopoly, controlling just about every company in a certain business, such as product distribution. I agree that conglomerations should be controlled more by the government, but not forced to completely break apart. This is because many companies would die out if it weren't for money from a conglomeration, such as elitist media in a conglomeration. The elitist media doesn't make any real money, but there is enough money coming in to spend a little to keep the media running.
