#1 Is it still Freedom of the Press and Free Speech when only a handful of Elite people control what is printed and said?

I have read, and need to verify, that less than 8 companies practically control all news and information 90% of us see each day.

Some examples:
The USA has about 302.35 million social media users as of 2023. That means 88.27% of the total 342.5 M US population get its info from social media actively.
