Knowing a handful of CIA personally, one thing they've all said is "There are no "ex" CIA." It seems to be similar to the USMC's "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Food for thought.
But people who leave the marines aren't actually marines in any way other than mindset, right? Not sure what I'm supposed to take away from this analogy.
maybe a couple of creators to create the news and an editor to decide what goes in. Pretty easy

These companies regularly get large government contracts, it is unlikely that there aren’t deeper connections.
I don’t believe free market exists in the USA and I think it’s economy and media is almost as heavily controlled as China.

You're making an argument from authority that I should ignore the source since some authority said to - incidentally a source discussing how "former" CIA employees are working to censor what information I can see.
Do people really believe there is a difference between government and the big tech? These companies regularly get large government contracts, it is unlikely that there aren’t deeper connections.

It’s ridiculous to say the US media is almost as heavily controlled as China.

It depends on sector and scale. At the small- and medium-size business level, yes there are free markets. As you get into large businesses and highly political structures (media, healthcare, education, etc.) you're right, we are nearly devoid of a free market.

Insulting and emotionally charged language.
