As for teevee since then, cable has made it a different animal -- called narrowcasting, with all its segmenting of the market into hundreds of channels, rather than broadcasting as before -- and the studies of the internet so far would suggest the same, I think.  Although the growth of the Independents also is attributed to other factors in studies I've read, the market segmenting of cable and the interne also could be causal.  

There are multiple voices yelling at us for decades now.  We just have not seen a Walter Cronkite or a sole network with the power that they had then.  Despite the decline of newspaper readership in the same decades, the impact may be the same as the 19th-century era of multiple newspaper voices, many newspapers even in the same town (and, as BTD correctly noted not long ago, those were primarily advocotary rather than "objective" then, too, like cable and the internet today).  It will be interesting to see if the impact on politics is similar . . . as I keep seeing signs of the fracturing of the 1840s and 1850s.
