My guy, I hate to break this to you, people were making these criticisms of capitalism over 150 years ago. I was referring to Black Liberationist critiques of privatized media expansion in the mid-twentieth-century US, but liberal/capitalist ownership over media and space that can be used to challenge this sytem has been a fundamental mechanism in its reproduction for much, much longer.
