> I read that more as a theoretical

I only ever see it being offered as a 'theoretical' by conservatives who think they are being 'shadow banned' or 'cancelled'.

The implication being that because only conservatives complain about it, concentration of power is nothing to worry about?

Do only conservatives worry about the consolidation of traditional media [1], too? Or is that something others, besides conservatives, also worry about, and is therefore a legitimate concern, unlike the consolidation of social networks?

What about the other way around - if only liberals complain about something, and not conservatives, do you also use that to dismiss the concerns?
