Jeff Chester on big media conglomerates

[John5000873]

I couldn't agree with you more. We got quite a serious situation here in the States which is threatening our free-press and ultimately our Liberty. I hold strong on the stance that the weatherman is the ONLY corporate media pundit I trust to consistently deliver to me quality and objective information; and even then I take it with a grain of salt. All has not failed though; there is still plenty to be optimistic about, especially on the Internet. Check out both fair.ORGanization and democracynow

Ah, what, this isn't Jeff Goldblum at all!

Zionist movement of ruining the views of Americans and only an old dog zionist can do it Rupert Murdoch.

Damn right

'liked'

[DKPS22]

This guys says it exactly right. The media is now a watch dog for corporations, not average Americans. Ramifications of this are huge. In reality, America no longer has a free press.

[DKPS22]

Even more sinister, US media companies have special interests that are foreign based.

Hey ASSHOLE.. people have the freedom to watch or not watch It is people like *YOU* that the people of this country need protection from.

what guarantee were you born with that says the media even has to exist, let alone tell you anything? Just live your life and then die. No one owes you anything, whether it be truth, lies, jokes, whatever... The biggest brainwash the media has pulled is that it is important, and that you are important. Very little of anything has to do with you.

Tv stations should start running tv spots to movies even if the movie is rated or unrated since the mpaa system is only voluntary anyways. any kind of independent media owner shouldn't have to worry going broke just because of some bigger business controls everything. Take away the media giants power over everything but let them keep enough so they can make a living and were back to the 80's where it's fair to all buisness big or small.

its about time the truth got out and another good thing is that republicans right now no nothing about tecnology or at least not as much as they should so they cant stop youtube from posting this stuff and hopefully they will never learn

Media corporations must be broke up in the same way oil companies were @ the turn of the last century?Media corp's have too much power.The Media corp's r brainwashing Americans into believing what they want us 2 believe.For ex. media corps want us 2 believe that the Mex Invasion is good;those poor folks just want r jobs&free medical 2 have 5&6 kids.Media supports the Mex invasion.The Mex invasion is part of whats killing the USA.Just look at crime in CA &(it's spreading)which the media ignores.

one of the few people in Washington who is actually 'thinking' about the long term effects of Web 2.0 technology. it is not a matter of what you are exposed to online, it is the tracking of 'clicks' that is concerning.

REmember...Ron Paul is the worst candidate for all of this....he wants to "let the markets decide!"

[poop121]

entirely free market with no oversight = corporatocracy

[o0xst]

preach it brutha

[Reason4TLOTG]

Very true. Everyday provides complete visual evidence as to how big media news/entertainment is yearning to control the majority of news broadcasting solely to satisfy the driving force of their aspirations...don't be ignorant; be aware of what you're watching.

Have to fight FOX! Have to fight RUPERT MURDOCH!
