Isn't most mass media fairly uniform anyways? I remember hearing criticism that the Rwandan massacre was overlooked for quite a while because most airtime / view attention was dedicated to the OJ Simpson trial.

Agreed. My point was that uniformity will increase when content will be provided by one company (take Google Glass for example).
And you are right - it's partially happening right now. I highly doubt if website can gain popularity while being banned from Google search result.
Maybe mind control stuff is too far reaching but consider another possibilities: for example censorship. If we would have only one news and data stream all the time in front of us, then you will be literally not able to see and hear censored things.
One can imagine that the contact lenses could remove some object from the vision in real time. Frightening.
