The television news and primary newspapers within the united states of america are controlled by just a few corporations which use the public's trust to form public opinion.
This article is simply meant to show clearly that the above claims are true.
I will not attempt to show why any particular piece of news is put forth (that will be left for future articles), only that the media not only distorts facts but collaborates to do so, omits important news completely, and goes so far as to make up completely fake news.
So let's get started...
Corporate Media Control
Currently, in the United States of America, a handful of large corporations control all of the major media outlets in the country.
Some quick research shows that 6 companies control the vast majority of all media in the united states:
While the list changes regularly (and grows smaller almost every year) a quick search for media ownership will return a variety of articles and videos showing that just a few corporations control most media in the united states.
Below is just one of many videos on youtube returned for media ownership.
This includes television news, news papers, magazines, radio, comic books, motion pictures, and more.
Media Collusion and Collaboration
The controlled media works together.
You can easily see this by watching a variety of news channels. Almost invariably when something is being pushed upon the populace every channel on tv (and most newspapers) will not only talk about the same things, they will use the exact same scripts to do so... often just changing names.
If you don't believe this, here are a few videos showing exactly what I am talking about. A few minutes of watching either of them should establish that this happens.
Examples of scripted (collaboration and collusion) media
Some examples with an explanation from a journalist
Do a quick search for scripted media on youtube and many results come up.
Media Omissions and Failure to Report News
The controlled media works together to ensure that most people do not see certain important news. They do this in a number of ways and a quick search for media lies by omission will turn up more results than you can shake a stick at.
Here is a good quick video that illustrates what is being done quick well:
As the above video notes, the media uses various tricks to lie without telling direct lies:
- Cherry picking - choosing only part of something to show
- Gate keeping - refusing to report real information that people could use and cutting people off that say something they do not want to report
- Reporting without doing any research (willful ignorance)
Media Misrepresentation
The controlled media misrepresents news.
Whether they lie by publishing government press releases as news without even verifying them or simple decide to publish only one side of a story as the whole story or by twisting what is said (often by cherry picking), anyone who pays attention can see that the corporate controlled news lies via misrepresentation.
Anyone who claims that one news channel or another is biased has seen media misrepresentation. Of course, they prefer to be obviously biased for/against a major political party (pretending that the two are in fact different and not just the parties of more government) as doing so gives the appearance of being able to get different takes on some supposedly important issue.
Statistics are also commonly used to make things look different than they actually are.
The best example I can find of misrepresentation recently is that the fires in california this past year have been wild fires. Wild fires that don't burn trees or grass but turn houses into dust and melt cars. While what is happening is under serious debate, it should be pretty clear with just a bit of thought that wild fires don't act like this... and calling these fires wildfires is a misrepresentation of what is happening.
Media Lies and Fake News
The controlled media creates news stories about events that never happened.
Don't believe it? The following is one of the most blatant examples that I've run across, showing a video of a mass shooting that simply did not happen.
A quick search for faked news on youtube provides a lot of good examples for anyone willing to look.
Why the controlled media conspires to deceive the people
The primary reason for having a controlled media is to control the people that rely upon (and trust) the media in order to do one or more things to them (strip their rights away, convince them of lies, get support for the latest war, dumb them down, take the fruits of their labor, etc.).
Without a controlled media, many plots carried out by massive corporations (including government corporations) would be nearly impossible to pull off without revolution.
Coming up...
Now that I've hopefully established we have a corporate controlled media and that it is used to lie to and deceive us (at least on occasion) I'll start putting up a few articles related to ongoing conspiracies that I believe are important (5G, vaccinations, GMO Foods, etc.) to show that the conspiracies are real even if I cannot determine which parties are behind them all.
We need to wake up, stop believing corporate media, and stop complying with what is being done to us. All we have to do to make real change is to refuse to comply and vote with our dollars.
