Something I've Been Wondering About

Okay, pondering if you will.

With the recent news of media empire maven Rupert Murdoch recently gobbling up the Wall Street Journal and adding it to his ever-growing empire, I keep wondering this:

Why are so many (supposedly independent-minded) Americans so very willing to be told:
what to think, what to watch, what to buy, what to read and especially who to vote for by a mega-wealthy old, white AUSTRALIAN guy?

Hmmm?
