mediacholy 

A state of depression, ennui, or melancholy brought on by the sheer profusion of terrible news in the media. A state often made more pronounced when reading online comments on those news stories by trolls and morons.
My state of mediacholy was so pronounced that not even a photo of the royal wedding could make me forget the news about the tornadoes in Alabama and the images of suffering.

OR

It was bad enough reading that a congressman from Michigan wanted to create a law that all foster children must wear secondhand clothes; but I sank into a state of mediacholy after reading so many online comments from readers who had even more draconian suggestions for victimizing foster children.

mediaopoly

The word "mediaopoly" merges the words "media" and "monopoly." Ben H. Bakdikian published his book called "The Media Monopoly" in 1983 . The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).
