Answer:

The thrust of their concern is biasness and the fact that people would not be able to make informed decisions.

Yes I agree with this concern

Explanation:

Today so many media stations and outlets are owned by different corporations or conglomerates. So it is very possible that these media outlets are influenced by the corporations Which own them.

The main concern of critics is that these media outlets would begin to put forward biased contents and they would stop serving the public when they overlook the shortcomings of these corporations. Thereby making people unable to make informed decisions which is crucial for democracy.

Corporate media is actually a good idea since it creates a healthy competition. What is necessary is a check by the government so as to avoid biasness. Making publication of real news and enhancing informed decision making.
