Every wonder why and how major media can cover up enormous scandals
about vaccines, Benghazi, the creation and funding of ISIS, the
complicity of the federal government in drug trafficking, the failure of
the $2 trillion war on poverty, the private Federal Reserve banking
cartel?
33 years ago, 50 companies owned 90% of US media.
Now, 6 companies own 90% of US media.
They are: Comcast; The Walt Disney Company; 21st Century Fox; Time Warner; Viacom; CBS.
Here are their 2014 revenues. Comcast, $69 billion. Disney, $48.8
billion. 21st Century Fox, $40.5 billion. Time Warner, $22.8 billion.
CBS, $13.8 billion. Viacom, $13.7 billion.
Note: Viacom and CBS are part-owned by National Amusements, under
Sumner Redstone. 21st Century Fox is owned by the Murdoch Family Trust.
Here is a partial list of media outlets owned by the big six
companies: Universal Pictures, NBC Universal, USA Network, Bravo, CNBC,
The Weather Channel, MSNBC, Syfy, ABC Television, ESPN, A&E,
Lifetime, Lucasfilm, Pixar, Walt Disney Pictures, Fox Broadcasting
Company, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports, National Geographic, Wall
St. Journal, NY Post, HarperCollins, CNN, CW, HBO, TBS, TNT, DC Comics,
MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Paramount Pictures, CBS Television Network.
Identical parrot-like reporting, on so many major news stories,
across the board, now requires the cooperation of only six companies.
To put it another way, there is ironclad agreement to cover up the truth.
There are two dominating wire services which feed all these news
outlets: Associated Press and Reuters. The Associated Press is a
non-profit owned by TV, radio, and newspaper outlets in America, many of
which outlets, of course, are in turn owned by the big six companies.
But…the six companies controlling US media have a monumental problem.
They’re a clumsy, slow-moving, complacent giant. Time and time again,
they fail to perceive their own preposterous
