WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who has criticized corporate media and accused some outlets of a bias against his campaign, vowed to clamp down on media mergers and toughen enforcement of antitrust laws against tech giants like Facebook and Google.
Sanders also said he would limit the number of stations that large broadcasting corporations can own in each market and nationwide, and require media corporations to disclose whether their merger proposals would involve “significant” journalism layoffs. The proposal comes after Sanders earlier this month linked his criticism of Amazon.com Inc, which he has attacked for its tax breaks and wage policies, to what he said was unfair coverage of his campaign by the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. The Post has denied that Bezos influences news coverage.
