Giant media corporations, unlike most other giant corporations, operate only by virtue of FCC licenses, which impose an additional duty to act "in the public interest," which means colluding to hide news from Americans, which is what notional "competitors" like CNN and CBS and ABC and MSNBC are doing. All this violates not federal antitrust laws, but also the conditions of their licenses, which are, themselves, a type of monopoly.
When large corporations operating in the same section of the economy act in concert to deprive consumers of what they would have gotten in a truly competitive marketplace, corporate officers and directors go to prison. Typically, the evidence required for convictions in these sorts of cases is little more than a "pattern of behavior."
When these corporations are entrusted with a duty beyond mere competition and these corporations violate that duty as well, the violation of the public trust and the abuse of the public interest, the condition of the FCC license, is obvious and repulsive.
