Would major outlets owned by wealthy people cover a revolution, and how much might ownership shape the coverage? I also wonder whether growing homelessness points to a breaking point, or if I’m reading too much into it.
Would billionaire-owned media cover a revolution?

They might cover it, but ownership could affect which voices get airtime and how events are framed. I’d also check the claim that five people own all media. It depends on what counts as media, and ownership is not the same as direct control over every newsroom decision.

Homelessness is a serious sign that people are being failed, but it doesn’t automatically mean a revolution is coming. It can be tempting to treat suffering as proof that change is inevitable. I’d rather focus on what people are organizing around and what would actually improve their lives.

Coverage probably wouldn’t be all or nothing. Some outlets might give an event sustained attention, while others might minimize it or focus on disruption. If something major happened, compare reporting from several independent sources and look for direct evidence before deciding what’s being left out.
