Or create opportunities for more competition, ie new owners.

Stop funding the existing liberal media cartel.

Cut your cable tv. They get a subscriber fee whether you watch or not.
Purchase local, store brands rather than national brands. The national brands fund the liberal media cartel.
Eat out at local restaurants, stay away from chains. The restaurant chains fund the liberal media cartel.

Please feel free to add to the list.

We finally cut our cable TV. It was bundled with our cable 'net (Time Warner), so it took a little bit of haggling. The customer service reps have obviously been trained on trying to keep TV customers. They get these kinds of calls all day long - they know better than anyone the reality of the situation.

So, now all we have is high speed cable internet routed through a wireless, which is perfect for our PCs, smart phones and streaming. We just got a new Vizio - which seems to be the hot item since it came out 2 mos ago - that has Roku and every other streaming service built in.*

* Except Amz - we had to buy a Firestick, but since we're prime customers, we get the service for 'free'. And yes, I'm perfectly aware we're supporting Bezos & Wapo. Still, it feels great not to have the crap networks getting a cut of the cable TV fee whether we watch them or not. (Haven't in 15-20 years.)
