"And in the United States, the ruling Republican party, dominated by megarich energy producers, is trying to undo the political achievements of the last century..." DK
Great comparative post, the media then and now.
I just have a few comments, sort of as asides, really.

The last century, and, most importantly, the century before it, were hardly unmixed decades of what I would call political achievement, for the West. He doesn't quantify achievement, so one doesn't know how to weigh it against what one might call backsliding.
In fact the last century, it seems to me, has been almost an unmixed century of political decline, for the West, although few in the US were allowed to view it that way.
That I think is only now becoming obvious here, but only to a very few, it seems, for many different reasons, reasons not touched on, perhaps for reasons of space, in the article on the relative decline in quality of the news media 1937 and 2017.
