Anyone have the info on major shareholders in AOL/TimeWarner/CNN?

[blm]

And can you list them?

I know Kingdom Holdings is a significant shareholder, but am curious as to the other major players of influence.

Thanks in advance.

2. It's a start. Thanks. TimeWarner shares have always been fairly open over the years.

From what I have heard the AOL shareholders are the DOMINANT voices in that empire.

3. Kingdom Holdings. Hmmmm. I still get as freaked out when I hear

their name as I was with their 'loud' hitting advertisements on the air right after 9-11.

I wonder if they are also behind Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC.

[blm]

6. Yep - they sure tried to spin like crazy for themselves after 9-11.

4. Ownership

I have to think many of the state and teachers' pensions funds -- if pooled -- have more than 50%.

5. If that is true, they certainly don't exert any influence on content, do they?

7. Who owns what...

I found this on the National Democrat Yahoo webgroup. I don't know if its valid or not or if the site it comes from is credible, or just another conspiracy site. The article is LONG, but this is a snippet.

The Nightly News, Presented by Halliburton

NBC is owned by General Electric, who also owns MSNBC and CNBC. GE also owns
Bravo, Telemundo, USA Network, and the Sci-Fi Channel, among others. GE was
awarded $2.2 billion in military contracts in 2005, and according to the War
Profiteers website:

"General Electric is one of the world’s top three producers of jet engines,
supplying Boeing, Lockheed Martin and other military aircraft makers for the
powering of airplanes and helicopters."

CBS is owned by the former Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, a division of
Westinghouse. WBC purchased all of CBS in 1996 and dropped it's name in favor of
the less ominous title, CBS Company, which was in turn purchased by Viacom.
Besides making the appliances and household electronics we know them for,
Westinghouse used to own Northrup Grumman, who makes nuclear powered aircraft
carriers, military airplanes, smart bombs and nuclear bombs, and is one of the
largest military contractors in the United States. Despite the sale of Northrup,
Westinghouse still makes nuclear reactors for U.S. submarines as well as
electronics for the military and manufactures arms. Those same arms that are
used to kill Iraqi's and Afghani's.

But it's much worse than you think. One of the longstanding members of the board
of directors for Westinghouse was Frank Carlucci. Carlucci served as Secretary
of Defense before Dick Cheney, National Security Advisor before Colin Powell,
and also as the CIA Deputy Director. Carlucci also served as chairman of Carlyle
Group from 1992-2003 and as Emiritus Chairman until 2005. The Carlyle Group is
an investment firm with ownership in multiple industries, but some of their
defense contracts have been widely criticized. Former employees of the Carlyle
Group include George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and James Baker.

We can go on and on, but let's give one specific example of how lobbying works.
When Viacom bought CBS, they broke U.S. laws concerning media ownership that is
meant to protect the public from media manipulation by giant corporations.
Within a week of the purchase, Senator John McCain proposed a change to U.S. law
allowing Viacom to complete the purchase. Not coincidentally, Viacom is the
fourth largest donor to John McCain's campaigns over his 25 year career in
politics.

Knowing this, it's no wonder why NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and other mainstream media
were so eagerly jumped into bed with Fox to consistently report lies and planted
stories as news and stop asking the hard questions journalists are supposed to
ask. And it's equally no wonder why they attack people like Dennis Kucinich and
Ron Paul, people they perceive as threats to their income and way of doing
business.
