Who runs the media?, by Alfons

This page is intended to expose some of the problems with the US media, and the effect it has on the minds of the people who watch it, read it, and listen to it.

The only thing we can know conclusively is that we are being lied to continuously. Most people are not aware because they don't pay attention. They believe whatever the clean cut suit on TV tells them and don't check the facts. Every day they hit us with a broadside barrage of bullshit. by anonymous

What is mind control? What you don't know, can hurt you. By simply leaving information out of the news, and emphasizing certain other information, and under reporting other events, the mainstream media controls the perception of the American body politic, mind control. Examples: The corporate media covered the huge war protest in Washington DC this past summer of 2005 in a grand total of 86 words, then held back on a story about a bioweapon release during the protest. “Poison Found in Air During Anti-War Protest”?

60 Minutes: Shelving a Story to Boost Bush? CBS puts Niger expose on hold as boss endorses Republicans. Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting: FAIR in the NewsFAIR quotes Viacom CEO Redstone as saying, "From a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal," Learn More The story about the Bush administration using the NSA to spy domestically was held back from the public by the New York Times for over a year, the story would have broke before the 2004 election and most likely would have had an effect at the polls.Learn More These are just a few examples, there are many more, and this writer would suspect there are some vital news events that were never reported, and we may never know about. As you read on, you will see, we build a case that is very solid, and it means that the corporatist media is not your friend, no matter what your political affiliation.

With 9/11 hit pieces and deception from, Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, National Geographic, and the mainstream in general it is going to be very difficult to counter the lies with truth. Americans are so dumbed down, so amenable to the rhetoric of "the authority", and it is just amazing how people are, and the way they reason, engaging in just about every logical fallacy known to man. I would speculate that these psychological gymnastics are an effort to protect the psychological benefits of denial, avoid cognitive dissonance and the pain that comes with finding out that your reality is not what you thought it was. In the matrix, down the rabbit hole, and you are not in Kansas anymore, you took the red pill, and you cannot go back. Now what do you do?

While taking the media back is preferable, it is in my opinion, not politically viable at this time, so we must become the media. Learn, teach, become the media, grassroots move the truth through the body politic, fund independent media such as Grassroots InfoMedia's Of The People™ radio show. Donate . The fate of the people of USA, and the world hangs in the balance.

The CIA also owns dozens of newspapers and magazines the world over. These not only provide cover for their agents but allow them to plant misinformation that regularly makes it back to the US through the wire services. The CIA has even placed agents on guard at the wire services, to prevent inconvenient facts from being disseminated. From, The CIAs Greatest Hits, by Mark Zepezauer Source

"Starting in the early days of the Cold War (late 40's), the CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success. The CIA effort to recruit American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda, was headed up by Frank Wisner, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and Philip Graham (publisher of The Washington Post)."

CIA funds the left?
The multi-billion dollar Ford Foundation's historic relationship to the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] is rarely mentioned on Pacifica's DEMOCRACY NOW / Deep Dish TV show, on FAIR's COUNTERSPIN show, on the WORKING ASSETS RADIO show, on The Nation Institute's RADIO NATION show, on David Barsamian's ALTERNATIVE RADIO show or in the pages of PROGRESSIVE, MOTHER JONES and Z magazine. One reason may be because the Ford Foundation and other Establishment foundations subsidize the Establishment Left's alternative media gatekeepers / censors. Source

Deconstructing Hollywood Mind-Control Subliminal Propaganda Sleazes Onto The Big Screen

Under the right circumstances, people can be led to believe things that are not true. The world of Orwell's "1984" arrived unnoticed in America. Psychological warfare is being waged against an unsuspecting public through the control of mass media and the altering of public education. by Steven Jacobson Source

Have you ever wondered who runs the media? Who owns the media? The list of people in key media positions listed below is shocking. Since the media, especially Fox has been lying, and effecting the health of democracy, not to mention public health, probably due in part to the inherent bias of for profit organizations. We the people should be concerned about who runs and owns the media, because information is the sustenance of power, without information our minds wilt and die, transforming us into beings that are less than human. It is disconcerting to see that most, if not all key positions in the media are occupied by zionist folks. Don't get me wrong I am not against jews, but I am against concentration of power, since power tends to corrupt. I am anti-Zionist (a radical religious-political group), and against the human rights violations of the State of Israel, and I am not alone in that attitude, there are a great many jews that agree with me. Perhaps this list below is the reason for the obvious bias towards Israel in the mainstream media. The answer to this and other media problems is to break up the media ownership, and the majority of the US body politic agree with that, and it should be noted that Congress is unwilling or unable to represent the will of the people. With the pen being mightier than the sword, all this power in the hands of a very few is not healthy for self government in a democracy, and violates the spirit of 1st amendment right to freedom of speech. On and about 9/11/2001 mossad agents were spying, there are mossad agents in the Pentagon, and many would speculate that mossad had something to do with the 9/11 conspiracy. The media is a critical function of freedom, without information the people can not govern, but they can be mislead.

Some interesting history about how the money of the rightist buy up the liberal media, and use it to gate-keep the rhetoric of the liberals. There is no liberal media to speak of anymore.
1977 - Murdoch buys New York Post for $30 million from liberal socialite Dorothy Schiff.
He continues his New York buying spree by purchasing New York magazine, Village Voice and
New West from Clay Felker
1985 - Murdoch becomes United States citizen in order to purchase more American media outlets.
Sells Village Voice. News Corp. buys TCF Holdings Inc., parent company of Twentieth Century Fox Film.
In a related deal, News Corp. purchases seven television stations from Metromedia for $1.55 billion
(WNEW-TV, New York; KTTV-TV, Los Angeles; WFLD-TV, Chicago; WTTG-TV, Washington, DC;
KNBN-TV, Dallas; KRIV-TV, Houston, WFXT-TV in Boston. These stations reach 22% of all television
households in the United States. These two deals help to form backbone of a new broadcast television network
The rumors are true: The Department of Justice is looking to give the green light to the marriage of
Village Voice Media, with six weekly papers, to alt-weekly umbrella New Times, creating a 17-paper
behemoth of back-page massage ads. New Times CEO Jim Larkin will be CEO of the new company,
to be called Village Voice Media. Meanwhile, Voice CEO David Schneiderman steps down to
President of the Internet Division — golly, wonder what sort of pretty, six-figure incentive Schneiderman
got for a peaceful surrender of power.
