CNN is owned by Warner Bros, WSJ is owned by News Corp (of course, the link to Fox through Murdoch is relevant), and NYT is its own company.

Warner Bros is owned by AT&T Fox is owned by News Corp same as WSJ

So the only one not covered by the "big 6" of the original article is NYT

AT&T divested Warner last year, and I believe Fox and News Corp are technically independent (again, the Murdoch link).
