We can thank Bill Clinton for the media consolidation by large corporations. With the Telecommunications Act of 1996 we saw the elimination of small independent media through the merger phase which has allowed for a few voices to carefully choreograph the message for the masses.
Trump agenda should include the break up corporate media.
Also, eliminate certain advertising allowances such as has been done to cigarettes. For instance, eliminate big pharma from being able to direct media messaging with advertising dollars. If it has to be prescribed then there is no reason to advertise to the general public.
If Americans were brighter, they would have made a bigger deal when Obama said: “When I was coming up you had three TV stations and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn’t, what was real and what was not.”
In a free country, those words should be terrifying. For me, they laid to rest any conspiracy theories that this foreign dope was the mastermind of anything at all; he is simply not very bright, and this was one of the many times he says the quiet part out loud. He is a the paid rep/salesman for 1%ers, and parrots what he is told to say - nothing more.
