Why don't we ever talk about who owns the MSM?
Murdoch and the Saudis own New Corp. The Saudi's own AOL/Time/Warner and a large chunk of Disney stock. GE makes billions more off of the weapons that they sell to our government every year than they do off of their television empire.

If Americans knew who owned what they would be far more skeptical of the MSM. It is sad when all I have to hear is that _______ reporter works for Time, Newweek, USA today and before they say a word I know that they will say about Bushco.

People need to know, I think that I should start making flyiers and leaving them around.

So back to my question why don't democrats mention who owns what, in every interview, it would make our jobs a lot easier.

1. Great idea!
Could you begin with people here at DU? I'm sure I'm not the only one unaware of some of the connections.

2. It's a white albino who never appears in public who owns 51%...
...of the entire wealth of the world who pulls the strings of the MSM as well as the political strings of world governments and the major companies of the world. His first name is Vincent and he is a self-mutilated eunuch thought to be the illegal child derived from early embryo research experiments of the English royal family. His financial genius comes from secret sperm taken from the Rothschild family DNA bank.

<Say, that would make a terrific plot for a best selling political intrigue novel>

5. This is a very good idea! We can build a data base that all of us
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 02:26 PM by KlatooBNikto
can access on the backgorund of each and every shill of the MSM.We should also have a good list of corporate directors at each and every media empire and their connections to the Republican Empire. This data base can be put to great effect by people at our websites.

That's the way I like it....aha aha!

6. there is plenty out there documenting the consolidation of
media ownership

Look no further than Clear Channel...40 to 1400 stations in a very short period of time.
