To name a few.
He controls over 20% of the world's news.
Including 85% of Australia's.

They buy off the Federal Comunications Commision, inorder to loosen the anti-media-monopoly laws to do this.
Rupert Murdock (who's mega-media company is called "News Corp.") owns dozens of different news sources, including movie companies and search engines.

Media-consolidation is how the rich control the masses.
Which is why in places like China and Iran, the rulers have absolute control over the media.
Of course, since there are laws like freedom of speech and freedom of the press in the U.S.A., the rich and powerful have had to get creative.
So they slowly buy up every single newspaper company, radio station, TV station and newsmagizine, and roll them all up into one big company.

Thank you John Nichols: I have been saying this for the past 10 years. If you keep dumbing down the news and treating citizens like children, they will stop buying the papers, and turning on the TV news.
