YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE.....MR. B4RANCH!
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.
“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.
Not necessarily conspiracies, but inaccuracies and falsehoods
made-up and poorly crafted to boost hit counts after being pimped on reputable sites.
Preferring blogs because the MSM is bad is akin to choosing
to eat roadkill because it's better than a crap sandwich.
