"What is press freedom? In practice it means the right of a few millionaires to corner newspaper shares on the stock exchange and to voice their own opinions and interests, irrespective of the truth or of the national interest."

Indeed. And those newspapers & mass media companies are creatures of the state, anyway. They have no right to exist as such and hence no right to so-called freedom of the press which today is nothing more than freedom of the pornographer in any event.
