In many cases, these giant companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution. Here is information about the largest U.S. media firms.

1. Ben Bagdikian warned us...
...way back in the 1980s: The Media Monopoly.

A few brave academics and pointy-headed liberals listened. Those who could've done something about it -- cough, Congress -- just looked the other way.

Thank you for the online resource, BrklynLiberal. You know who gave us Flushbo Limpnuts?

Easy as ABC.

8. Really? I didn't know that about the JW.
We have some JW people here but mostly we have Bible Believing Baptists. And that is Amen to you buster.

If they weren't so politically powerful they would actually be pretty entertaining.
