if comcast decides to sell off the collection of channels on a dying media outlet ( cable ), who will stop them?

Muck will call it X-cable or something and all of the MSNBC hosts that I still bother to listen to will fight for podcasts like Keith is doing ( which is fine, Keith wants to retire now )... but that is the only media we will have, just endless podcasts.

But that's not the worst.

The worst is that we are losing all the reporters in the USA... and perhaps the world. Newspapers are almost dead, the cable hosts that interview reporters are dying, and the podcasters that simply read the reports that investigative reporters write will no longer have anything to read. All the news will be from "pravda" like state run propaganda outlets. Welcome to 1984, only 40 years behind schedule.
