As with most things, when big corporations take over it becomes bad. Definitely agree with you that using it as your only way of getting info is bad, but it's not much different from relying on one influencer or podcaster for all your info other than it being more likely to be more well researched. I will say at least with my local one it's a pretty diverse method of entertainment. They've got all kinds of weird and quirky shows on.

It is not only corporations. Single governmental voices are bad too, and many non-profits have their own political biases.

The difference with influencers and podcasters is that you have the choice between thousands of them. Radio would be like having the choice only between the top 5 of youtube, and you would have to tune in at a precise time to get it.
