No they don't. Google and other news aggregation sites just make it easier to filter through the crappy news. Combine that w/ higher quality, more focused reading material via the net and the large news orgs start to suffer.

it sure have a little control over it as they have millions of users, so they can BUZZ something up

but i don't think they'll control the media in long term.. no one can even control it
