I dont think ownership is the main problem.<p>The larger problem seems to be global.<p>The ability to be expressive comes with it certain biological traits and dispositions. These traits may determine your viewpoints on matters.<p>So, if I hire journalists purely based on their writing ability, I may find most of them have very similar political views. If I create an industry of the best actors/musicians, again I may find them to have similar traits and views.<p>So, you can have a situation where some view has 50% support in the larger population, but almost no support in the press, academia, entertainment industry etc.<p>In a society based on free speech and no violence, the views supported by expressive people have an overwhelming advantage. The problem is just because you are very good at communication, doesnt mean your viewpoint is always correct. That is the reason some brilliant professors dont make it in the private sector, while someone who cant string a sentence together becomes a billionaire.<p>But when people see, supposedly neutral organizations have an overwhelming slant to one side of a viewpoint, the organization loses credibility. They are in a bubble.<p>When you no longer have institutions of fairness everyone can agree upon, you create the problem of fake news.
