It could be because your comment is too vague, personally I don't understand what you mean. Who are the ownership/leadership of media companies?

I saw this in a comment here recently and thought it was informative about this topic:

The thread topic is News media, not Hollywood.

Global news media is dominated by Rupert Murdoch (not Jewish) and while the second tier lesser Murdochs are mostly rich billionaires not many are Jewish.

eg: Arthur Sulzberger Jr. (recent chair of The New York Times company) is neither Jewish by birth—according to traditional Jewish law—nor by choice. (He was raised Episcopalian, his mother’s faith.)

News media isn't separate from Hollywood. Disney owns ABC. Paramount Global owns CBS. CNN is owned by Warner Bros Discovery. NBC Universal owns NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo; they also own Universal Pictures. All the major US news networks are owned by companies that also own Hollywood studios, except for Fox, which sold its studio to Disney recently.

Murdoch (owner of Fox, Sky, NY Post, and WSJ, among others) gets a lot of (negative) attention as a dissenting voice, but I'd hardly say he dominates news media.

And couldn't you find a better second example than someone who is only technically not Jewish, because his father is Jewish, not his mother? His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather (all Jewish) previously ran the NY Times.
