Nice article, he writes VERY well. Great style.
This is one more link between govt and business, osmosis.
Also why America is in dangerous of "ossification", not being creative or advancing with the creation of NEW ideas/values/outlooks/perspectives. And this has always been the hallmark of leading civilizations, not guns and circuses.
I re-state the authors last paragraph.

| In short, the news divisions of the media cartel appear to work against the public interest--and for their parent companies, their advertisers and the Bush Administration. The situation is completely un-American. It is the purpose of the press to help us run the state, and not the other way around. As citizens of a democracy, we have the right and obligation to be well aware of what is happening, both in "the homeland" and the wider world. Without such knowledge we cannot be both secure and free. We therefore must take steps to liberate the media from oligopoly, so as to make the government our own. |

Fixated on the bottom line, it cuts the costs of real reporting while overplaying cheap crapola; and in its endless drive for more, it is an ally of the very junta whose high crimes and misdemeanors it should be exposing to the rest of us. It is past time, therefore, to go beyond the charting and analysis of media ownership, to boycotts, strikes and protests of the media cartel itself.

I am surprised it didn't mention that Murdoch owns myspace.
Actually, I found his profile,

I was about to say the same thing.
You can't be fooled by their family names. Most of them are jews. |

| Who watches the American media? Americas do. Americans apparently like the dumbed down, infotainment that these companies are selling because they are making money and continually making news bigger and better to get more people watching. Its like if I made cars, and my cars blew up all the time, but people didnt mind and kept buying them. |

For the slow people out there, my point is that not all jews have names like 'Goldberg'. Many of them were changed along the way.

I still don't get your point- my family name was much more complicated until they arrived at Ellis Island. Is a changed name a sign of depravity? Please explain what being Jewish or having changed your name has to do with the functioning of the US media.
Please, don't try to finesse your point. |

My point was simple. If you can't get it, take a remedial reading class.
You read between the lines even when there's nothing there to read.

I'll say what perhaps others feel uncomfortable to say.
The seeming "control" of the general media (visual and print) by individuals bearing names of Jewish derivation seems to be disproportionate in terms of percentage of population vs. percentage of media influence.
All one need do is look at Hollywood, whether from its inception (Hungarian Jews, for most of the way) to its present status.
I do not support the sick idea of some grand scheme or conspiracy (no ludicrous "Protocols," for me, thank you), but one is hard pressed to dispute the fact that a significant percentage of people of a certain ethno-religio-cultural background "controls" modern popular media in the West. |
