6 Corporations Own 90% of American Media

Business Insider ^ | June 2012 | ashley Lutz

This is from 2012, but it is a reminder of why we elected a person who had all his records sealed, and although the media knows Obama is paying millions to keep them sealed, they don’t even blink.

Wall Street has given Obama more money than any other President in history. So I guess the question is who owns the corporations? We are being gaslighted on a global level. The deception is beyond most people’s comprehension. In my opinion the cartels are in charge, and we are in trouble.

Interesting post. Very concerning.

don’t go peeking around trying to figure out the names of the owners/CEOs of those companies. You might find something in common. But we’re not supposed to notice. shhhhhhh

One political ideology owns 96% of all professors.

Strangely it seems we’ve come around to agree with the hard Left on this issue.

This sounds really terrible at first read, but is it really that different than any other industry?

How many major auto manufacturers control 90% of the auto industry?

How many major x manufacturers control 90% of x industry?

Corporations have a lot of efficiencies. Large corporations moreso. Competition, while arguably good for consumers, incurs a cost to the competitors.

Is it really that surprising that large organizations dominate industries? And what, exactly, is the remedy supposed to be?

Perhaps in terms of admitting certain facts. But what a lot of leftists actually do (bailouts of the big businesses) shows that a lot of politicians are hypocrites in terms of saying that big corporations are bad while supporting them all the same.

Saw a doc. online yesterday about WFNX, the radio station run for years by the Boston Phoenix. Yeah definite moonbats politically but they were committed to local music, punk, rock etc.
So in 2012 comes the shocking news that B Phoenix owner Steve Mindich (whose stations and newspapers were suffering) is selling WFNX (he would later shutter the Boston paper though it continues in Maine and RI). So WFNX, the B Phoenix, lovers of the occupy movement, who does he sell it to?

Clear Channel...for $14.5 million bucks. Schadenfreude!
Rumors of Rush & Hannity winding up on the station came out;
ultimately it did “variety hits” for awhile then electronic dance music, and now it’s country (trying to “shave points”
off the ratings of Greater Media’s country WKLB in order
to help Clear Channel’s hit station WXKS-FM). So the “Occupy” station goes to..Clear Channel. But that’s the radio biz...

There’s very little we proles can do about this. You think that by giving up cable you’re starving the beast?

Unless someone is willing to live completely off the grid: no phone, no Internet, no TV, no radio, there’s little hope to choke off these bastards. I’ve tried to explain this to my liberal “friends” who insist that Rupert Murdoch is the anti-Christ, but they find it necessary to spend all their time on Reddit or Google bitching about it while giving into the very same powers about whom they bitch.

Most of the world is owned by a conglomerate or power broker anymore. The chance of finding a truly unspoiled part of the globe is effectively zero.

Media is somewhat different than other industries but I don’t think it matters much at this point. People seek the news they agree with and as long as a couple of different viewpoints are presented, people will settle there.

The simple fact is that its up to us as individuals to educate ourselves on the facts.

[raccoonradio]

The doc. also points out that the media consolidation bill that led to CC owning 1,200 stations was signed by...Bill Clinton.

Preventing corruption, collusion, and the concentration of power in the hands of the few is like preventing weeds from growing in your lawn. You treat, it works for awhile, but without vigilance, more treatments and/or weed pulling, the weeds are back.

There will always be those who seek to fly beneath the radar - or to block the radar - so that they can grab power and control before the rest of us are aware enough to fight back.

I support free market capitalism, but we now have too much crony capitalism.

Time Mag. Is “independent” now and its’ major shareholders are JP Morgan (Rockefeller, Soros ally and probably boss).

Fidelity is a privately run financial institution, with company has almost $5 TRILLION in assets, it is very important to see what they are doing. Given that they have so much money and it is almost impossible. I think we really need to pay attention to what is going on with these Banksters.

Fidelity was reported to have a fundraiser for Barnet Frank in 2009, on personal blogs. Nothing was ever reported in media outlets. We can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes.

They have a labyrinth of off shore accounts, hedge funds, and holding companies, that even government doesn’t have access too.

Given that the media is in the hands of few people, and that Wall Street has given Obama more than any other president in history, it is a reminder of who is pulling the strings and the level of deception that is possible.

Few people know of Carlos Slim’s involvment with NY Times, and the reality is that few people know who these people are and what they own.

‘The extent of the Rothschild-Rockefeller relationship has been shrouded in ignorance, mystery, obfuscation and confusion displaying both the intellectual cowardice of esteemed academic researchers and biographers and the imbalanced ideology of those who conclude conspiracy without a presentation of actual facts and proper interpretations.’

I find David Rockefellers speech shows a chilling disdain for humanity. These are sociopaths with God like complexes controlling the world.

Good point

“The simple fact is that its up to us as individuals to educate ourselves on the facts.”

I agree with you, but that only remains possible if we have open access to the facts. Right now, because of the internet principally, we do. If that changes, it will make it much harder to find the truth among the lies.
