Who Owns the News?

[Trigg]

Seven banking families own the media. Whoever controls the media, controls how Americans think.

Only fucking idiots allow themselves to believe such rubbish and allow another to "control" how they think.

Why do you feel that was directed at you????

Do you let others control how you think?

If not, than I don't think he was talking about you.

He intended it as a personal insult to me. He called me a fucking idiot.

He completely ignored the point I was making that ALL the news we see, hear and read in America is owned by six entities only.

and he thinks I"M impossible.

No, he point out that with the internet, information is available from thousands of different sources.

You perceived it as an insult.

The iinternet is one of the few sources we have for information. Yes, I felt insulted by his post. And yes, I think that was his intention.

Yep, and even without the internet, there are literally thousands and thousands of independent news agencies in every other city in America. To think that these thousands and thousands of media outlets, and the news they deliver daily, are somehow "controlled" on what they should say, is laughable. Sometimes news is on the TV within mere minutes, and then extended to thousands of stations. Anyone who thinks just a handful of people control what is told to us and how this info is propagated, is hilariously naive.

I ignored nothing, I merely corrected you. You're tossing out rhetoric, as if we are all somehow controlled by the media, or that the media is rigged, and that they tell us what to think. I simply pointed out that anyone who believes that, and who thinks they are told what to think, is a fucking idiot. If the shoe fits...

But to add on further, there are probably 20 independent news agencies here in the NYC area alone, let alone nationwide and then worldwide. And no, these are not all owned by the same entities. You're falling for rhetoric and then trying to pass it off as fact here, and it's not fact.
