I don't think I can actually comment on this topic in a way that would not be considered political. (aside from a metacomment like this)

The FCC has always been a terrible agency. Its members work in a revolving door environment with the companies they are supposed to regulate. If they behave, the media giants will give them six figure salary executive positions after a few short years of public service, which is mostly spent preventing news anchors from cussing and allowing the country's news outlets to be owned by fewer and fewer companies. And so we have had a free press controlled by an oligarchy for over a decade now.

Yup, it all boils down to corporatism. It's that simple and I don't consider it 'a political view' at all. Merely a correct naming for what is going on. From what I've heard US got themselves what basically is a duopoly in the telecommunications.
