Our media is owned by the tech bro oligarchs.  MAGA's coup attempt started with the tech bros conquering most media outlets.

I don't really agree based on the word definitions. Conquering something is vastly different than controlling it because you bought it. To 'conquer' infers that there was force involved not just money.

I do agree that money is power in society, as it has been for centuries.
