Most news outlets use same sources anyway. Such as AP, Reuters, etc.
It is the news sources that need more competition and diversity of views.

| I agree. I don't have a problem with cross ownership of TV, radio, newspaper in a given market.
What worries me is when ONE COMPANY owns multiple newspapers, radio and TV stations in a given market.
What government policy should do is to encourage a diversity of ownership and views without worrying too much about how those view are communicated. What is troubling today is a hand full of media giants control what is deemed newsworthy and manages news organizations as entertainment rather then journalism.
