  1. But the stories you hear are the news. What would you have, made up ones?


  2. In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly. In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation.

  3. It's a combination of marketing and what's poltically allowed to talk about.

    I believe it's 7 or 8 corporations that own over 90% of the mass media in the US and so they have very similar interests. As such they agree pretty much about what to show and not to show.

    Examples:

    1) For the longest time Yasser Arafat was absolutely disdained in the US MSM. But when he was willing to sign the Oslo accords which allowed Israel to work outside of international law and that way do as it pleased, Arafat was paraded around like the new Miss Universe.

    Freaking MTV had an interview with the guy. Can you imagine?

    2) Now that Obama is set to win the presidency even after he said the US should talk to Syria, and now that Israel is negotiating with Syria, that country's reputation is being reconsidered in the US MSM.

    The View's girls were recently talking about how nice Syrians are and how beautiful Syrian garments and clothing are, exhibiting some of it on their persons.

    I must say I thought I was dreaming. The whole thing was so bizarre.

    Such feat would have never been possible if Israel or the powers that be didn't care to deal with Syria.

    But there's has been a shift in the strategic aims of the US and Israel and now Syria is in.

  4. The lllumninati.Freemasonry is just the housing.Have controlled mass media for several decades globally.And since the 1920s in the USA.http://www.newswithviews.com/Hayes/giann...     http://www.constitution.org/pub/swinton_...

  5. The "Freemasons"!

    Reuters and Associated Press are both owned by the Rotschilds.

    So is Google and Yahoo.

    The "Freemasons" The "Brotherhood of Death"

    It is a secret society, because you do not know who members are and what they plan to do. They do not give much to charity because their charity is their own members.

    They look after their own, any child needs life saving surgery the fraternity pays for it.

    It is corrupt they own the federal bank and the bank of England, they print money out of nothing and it is not regulated. They include the Rothschild’s, Morgan’s and the Rockefellers. Blair and bush are high ranking masons; Blair is a 7th degree mason. There are two factions of the free masons originating in the UK the York right and the Scottish right. Masons from York went and build major buildings in New York including the statue of Liberty, the moved from York England and build a city in America and called it the New York. Washington including the Whitehouse was build by freemasons from Edinburgh Scotland.

    The free masons control the economic order of the world and it is they who are creating the economic fall at present. Money means nothing to them as they have too much; it’s about power for them and the games they play with us. We are their monopoly board and we are expendable. Their plan is to reduce the population by 85% through war disease and ill health

    Dr Gallo (Go to you tube and type in his name) was funded in the 1960's by the US government to produce a deadly virus to reduce the black population in America. All the vaccines for Aids contain the aids virus and mercury. All vaccines for children and the flu bug contain the 2d most deadly poison on earth MERCURY. They put fluoride in our water which destroys the thyroid gland and leads to cancer. They put cancerous chemicals in our processed foods and poison the air over our cities. There is a cure for cancer but they will not tell you because the pharmaceutical companies are owned by them, they and cancer are the biggest money making rackets after war and oil. All cancer is, is a vitamin deficiency of B17 and vitamin D which creates a strong immune system fighting cancer.

    The Rothschild’s were the largest and richest land owners in the UK during the Napoleonic war. When Britain defeated France at Waterloo Rothschild was the first person to be informed. So he went to the stock market and sold all his property. Other wealthy owns watched Rothschild selling all that he owned so the quickly followed suit thinking that they had lost the war to France. When they did Rothschild bought everything back and more and huge discounts. Forget the wealthy Arab prince's the Rockefellers and Rothschild’s have far more wealth and one time they owned two thirds of the world!

    Masonic Entered Apprentice Oath.  Entered Apprentice is the first of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice.  So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    Masonic FellowCraft Oath.  FellowCraft is the second of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my left breast torn open, my heart and vitals taken thence, and with my body given as a prey to the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Fellow Craft. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    Masonic Master Mason’s Oath.  Master Mason is the third of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence, and with my body burned to ashes, and the ashes thereof scattered to the four winds of Heaven, that there might remain neither track, trace nor remembrance among man or Masons of so vile and perjured a wretch as I should be, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Master Mason. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    NOBODY WHO MAKES AN OATH LIKE THAT IS FIT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC!

  6. It is based on ratings...and it is well known that if it Burns , Bleeds , or Blows Up...it will get better ratings.

  7. Editors and producers decide what stories are "newsworthy" and decide what stories air or are printed.  It's all the same because typically when something happens, all media outlets think it's important and at the same level.

  8. On a national basis, all outlets take some cues from the wire service. Chances are their own reporters are finding out the same things through their own work anyway. So there are certain stories that will be covered by everyone, no matter what. There are some differences in emphasis, but it's still a similar product.

    Locally, the tv stations have few resources and sometimes a limited imagination. So they pick up the newspaper. Some stories don't lend themselves to pictures well (government), so they get less play than, say, a good fire or murder. Again, though, it's a limited universe.

  9. Well that because that's the news no matter what channel you watch
