Who Owns the Media?

p emSeptember 12, 2011/em/p p The people who control the first level of information available to us, through our TV sets, billboards, and radios, are a select few. Rupert Murdoch owns Dish Network. ATT owns Direct TV. Comcast (now known as span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="XFinity" data-scaytid="5"XFinity/span) is run out of a corporation in Mexico City that owns the majority of cable networks around the world. These are just the major ones, the heavy hitters. If I didnrsquo;t mention any of the others, thank God that yoursquo;re not controlled by them./p p There are four major television networks. Letrsquo;s start slow with NBC. NBC owns 16 major media operations in television, film, and radio. Their parent is Sony Corporation. Thatrsquo;s why span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="Telemundo’s" data-scaytid="7"Telemundorsquo;s/span span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="telenovelas" data-scaytid="9"telenovelas/span are similar in style to Japanese soap operas. This is why TV is all interconnected, across the world./p p Second off the bat is CBS, is the biggest crook of the bunch. They not only own the usual suspects, like TV and movie studios, but also CBS outdoors, which controls 90% of all billboards across the United States. They own movie companies CBS Films and Showtime, the cable movie channel that broadcasts boxing and special-interest sports. Donrsquo;t forget the gossip magazine, where we can learn all the background info on our favorite CBS celebs! span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="And...an" data-scaytid="1"And...an/span ecological lobbying group called span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="EcoMedia" data-scaytid="11"EcoMedia/span, that works to harness the ldquo;vast untapped span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="resevoir”" data-scaytid="13"resevoirrdquo;/span of advertising space, to partner municipalities and NGOs with ldquo;ecologically-mindedrdquo; corporations./p p Thirdly: Disney owns ABC. Disney also owns ice shows, cruise ships, snack packs..., and a bunch of other things too long to list in this article. Letrsquo;s just say our computer crashed trying to conduct research on the Disney website. Letrsquo;s just not forget ESPN and the videogame Aaron Stone, as well as Touchstone Pictures, and Disneyrsquo;s affiliate, the all-encompassing Nestle. Thatrsquo;s all wersquo;ll name at this time, just a bit./p p Last but not least. FOX, owned by Rupert Murdoch, a man who claims three citizenships: Australian, British, and American. This is the scariest man of the bunch, the biggest of the monsters in the group. Rupert Murdoch owns large portions of all print media in North America, South America, and Australia; all the major British newspapers; financial news from Barronrsquo;s to the Wall Street Journal; a ldquo;diverserdquo; communications group known as SKY; and Dish Networkhellip;This takes up a lot of homes in the United States and the rest of the world. Murdoch also owns the usual FOX, Star Cable channel, National Geographic Channel, and several more stations that Irsquo;ll leave span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="unnamed...except" data-scaytid="3"unnamed...except/span of course the ultra-conservative FOX news, lest we forget Murdoch controls how our histories and stories are shown to the public. Thatrsquo;s all Irsquo;ll say at this timemdash;donrsquo;t span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="wanna" data-scaytid="15"wanna/span get arrested!/p p Now you know who owns you. If you own a TV or computerhellip;these are the people who own what you see, hear, and taste, from movies to candy bars./p p This is Bad News Bruce, signing out./p
