Did you catch this paragraph? But it is the "big six" that are the biggest concerns. When you control what Americans watch, hear and read you gain a great deal of control over what they think. They don't call it "programming" for nothing.
To me, mass media news is social engineering at its finest. This article is proof of that.
YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE.....MR. B4RANCH!
I have not watched a network newscast, nor any network-related cable channel for at least 10 years. Every chance I get, I tell my grand daughters to not believe everything their teachers tell them about the President, Congress, homosexuals, liberals and the like. I tell them they have to ask their mommy and daddy, or they can talk to me.
Excellent article B4Ranch! Thanks for posting! I really like and agree with your profile page also.
Of course. I don’t like anything these days. Celebutards and crass entertainment just bug me to no end.
It really defines the “daunting” task of turning this country around when you understand what you are up against.
“mass media news is social engineering at its finest”
And the goal of their engineers is to make money selling advertising.
They do that by providing advertisers with people who will spend money on their product: stupid, manipulable people.
The ‘dumb slut’ is the highest-value media product for it’s advertisers.
Good article. Next question is: who are the puppetmasters who control the ‘Big 6’?
It’s interesting how, early in the article, News Corp. is referred to as “Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.”
One adjustment to your article that needs to be made:
NBC Universal is 51% owned by Comcast and 49% by the General Electric Corporation
The average American watches 153 hours of television a month.
Oh. I guess people don't even need to go to school for stupidity any more.
Such concentration of power in mature industries is an inevitable consequence of the free market, helped along by government regulation that encourages it, to be sure.
Free markets do not everywhere and always work for the good of the society.
It seems like a caller into Rush’s show asked this same question, earlier this week. I can’t remember what Rush’s answer was, but this article gives an excellent answer.
About the only complaints that I see about bloggers is them excerpting back to their blogs. As you know, Jim frowns on that crap.
And then there’s Free Republic. The government did not build this. The media did not. Corporations did not. The FReepers did.
“And the goal of their engineers is to” change a once self reliant population into a subservient one that will obey every command issued by a man or woman wearing a uniform.
People who rise up against their government leaders must be eradicated.
The intelligence levels of the overall population must be reduced therefore uneducated illegal aliens shall be placed at the head of the line for social programs.
>>Next question is: who are the puppetmasters who control the Big 6?<<
The CFR.
>>About the only complaints that I see about bloggers is them excerpting back to their blogs. As you know, Jim frowns on that crap.<<
This is something I don’t fully comprehend. We are cheerfully restricted from posting the full article of an establishment media corporation yet it is considered distasteful when we do the same of an entrepreneurial bloggers website. We are allowing the establishment to make a profit from their journalism and attempt to restrict the bloggers from doing the same. Aren’t we asking to be programmed by the mass media with such punitive regulations.
No, I do not operate a blog.
>>.... always work for the good of the society.<<
If we had Term Limits in the local, state and federal legislative halls I might agree with you.
