What’s a better term for the MSNBC/Fox/NYT/whatever companies: “corporate media” or “legacy media”?

Legacy media gives it a negative connotation by default. Let corporate media build the negative connotation they deserve. Do away with mainstream media as they are no longer mainstream.
"corporate-sponsored media" "propagandists" or just plain old "prostitutes" but for official use I think "corporate media" is better than legacy. Legacy always sounds to me like they've earned something.

Corporate, legacy sounds more "newspapers" and do you want to include modern sham news outlets too?
“Legacy media” - whether corporate or sponsored or not, it’s based on an outdated model that is too encumbered to serve its useful purpose (at best)
types of media translated into English: Mainstream = Lamestream Conservative = Cuckservative Alt Right = Alt Light Left = GloboHomo ( no offense to Homos and Trannies, except fat ones ! ) Right = Zionist Conspiracy Theorist = Gatekeeper TV = Jew Box / formerly The Electric Jew NYT = Jew York Times Panelist, Producer, Expert = Jew
fascists. whixh means the merger of statw and corporate. and isn't that what has happened here? when you going be a better investor? your record kind of sucks
My sister in law literally thinks TMZ and The View are news.....it made me think of "Infotainment". Corporate Infotainment.

Corporate 100% legacy media is boomerspeak
Like both, but I think “corporate media” would resonate with more people. Less vague term and more familiar imo

I prefer exacerbating hogwash. Why not both they both represent different issues with it. Corporate legacy media doesn't seem too long winded.
Karen-blogs? Regime media? But, as always, the term to use depends on your audience. Left activists will respond well to "corporate media", tech enthusiasts to "legacy media".
I would use 'legacy media' to refer to the medium e.g. print, tv, radio. I would use 'corporate media' to refer the companies engaged.

Monomedia, probably my favourite. Ministries of Truth, 'eh' Advertisers / propagandanists, most accurate Plebs will understand "legacy media" the best I guess. Keep this updated I need to know what you land on
I've always used the term "corporate media" for MSM/legacy media, as it frames it in a way that makes the receiver hearing/reading this term realize profit incentives are the priority, not investigative journalism. Legacy media to me could include investigative journalists using print, for example. (media being either the medium or the message)
My vote is for legacy. Seems more respectful when it rolls off the tongue. But it's somehow diminishes them at the same time
I feel legacy media goes to an old mammoth institution whereas corporate could apply to any current corporate mammoth 🦣📺

Definitely not „legacy media“. That will not be understood while TV is still around and they have websites. Also, the need to tell people what to think will stay and find its way into new media eventually. It misses the point.
Legacy Media includes a 100 year old family owned local newspaper so that probably wouldn't fit into the same category you are thinking about
Corporate imo. With as many people who are anti-corporation, it's bound to have a negative connotation in comparison to something like legacy,which brings family to mind
How out “Entertainment Media” god knows they don’t report actual factual news. 99% slant. You get better info from watching KUWTK.
