Who Really Owns the Media?

 A few days ago, I ran across an excellent article that lays out in detail who owns American media. Written by Michael Snyder on his website The Economic Collapse, it is must reading for everyone who wants a place to start to think about why the American media are such war-mongering elitists. The gist of Snyder's article is that only a very few conglomerates own nearly all the major media outlets--TV and print media--in the United States. 

I encourage you to read the entire post on his blog The Economic Collapse with the cheery subheading "Are you prepared for the Coming Economic Collapse and the Next Great Depression?" Even if you don't share Mr. Snyder's political views, this post is worth reading.

  Deus Vult: Onward, Trumpian Soldiers Many Americans have reacted with disbelief to Trump’s cabinet picks. Matthew Gaetz, a man under a congressional ethics investigation for sex trafficking as Attorney General?   RFK Jr, the man who accused an innocent African American man of murder, as Secretary of Health and Human Services?   Even worse than these picks, though, is the decision to appoint Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. Both men have swallowed the potent Kool Aid of Christian Zionism, an ideology that blends ethnic nationalism (for Israelis) and religious fanaticism. This ideology, when combined with their total lack of relevant qualifications to hold these posts, threatens the world with an even wider war than the one already raging. In his book, American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free , Hegseth makes his disdain for Muslims clear. In the first chapter, he criticizes Ilhan Omar, a Muslim, hijab-wearing member of Co...

Are Trump's Claims of 2020 Election Fraud Really False?

 As I write this, NPR (National Public Radio) plays in the background and CNN's website is open on my laptop in a different tab.  Both of them are still  airing reports that Trump falsely claimed that the 2020 election was stolen.   If by "stolen" they mean dead people voting more than they always do in America or China hacking into computerized voting systems, then no, the election was not stolen.  But there are more subtle ways to shift a close election, especially by shaping media coverage.  In fact, the major media tilted the election in Biden's favor by depriving Trump of the chance to make his best case for reelection to the American people. They did so in these ways: Burying Trump's antiwar stance, one that appeals to broad sections of both the liberal and conservative wings of the American public.  Airing false claims that Trump called neo-Nazis "very fine people."  Mishandling the Hunter Biden laptop story I. Trump's Antiwar Stance ...
