Given that the highest-rated cable news program, Fox News, has a viewership of less than 1% of the US population AND less than 1% of people who actually vote, I'm skeptical of those kinds of claims.
Most newspapers and broadcast television networks are owned by corporations as well.
Noncorporate news sources mostly consist of word of mouth, email, blogs, and discussion boards.
...and until I see evidence that most people are actually getting most of their info from TV and newspapers, I'll remain skeptical of that claim, and I think others should as well. Older people are likely still hanging on to old media, but they're adapting to the new media environment as well.
