Six massive corporations control most of what we see, hear and read. In 1980 the number was fifty.

The big six are:
- GE
- Time Warner
- Viacom
- Disney
- News Corp
- CBS Corp
Television networks for example:
- CBS - CBS Corp
- NBC - GE (& Comcast)
- FOX - News Corp
- ABC - Disney
- CNN - Time Warner
- ESPN - Disney
- MTV - Viacom
Fun fact -- what do the New York Times and Reddit have in common? Neither are owned by one of the big six. Reddit is owned by Advance Publications, Inc., which is privately held by the Newhouse family. NYT is owned by the New York Times Company.
National Amusements, controlled by the Redstone family, owns both Viacom and CBS. Big five, not six.

"In 1980 the number was fifty"
Yeah, but in 1984 the number was one.
1984 is coming. Fifty years ago we were afraid of 1984. Now we accept it as everyday life.

Is this an edgy ad for Time Warner?

Are you sick of jews controlling the media? Switch to Time Warner, were white people.

Time Warner historically is Jewish. In fact, they were the first studio to produce anti Nazi propaganda.
Jewish people owning the media doesn't really matter all that much. Mostly, the fact that they are massive corporations is the bigger problem.
Without Jewish people in the media, everyone would still be listening to Christian stuff all the time.

Interesting, if not frightening.

Ever play a game of Monopoly? The same thing is going on here.

The wealthy wrote the Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowing the unprecedented consolidation of US media ownership. The results were entirely predictable. Yet another blatant example that the US government exists solely for the benefit of the rich.

Western Society exists solely for the benefit of the rich.

This shouldn't even be in /r/conspiracy since it's right out in the open. The big media giants work as an oligopoly.
These companies are multinational. They are on a level higher than trivial national politics and they play the public like a bunch of chumps.
They aren't left or right, they are purely capitalist and will say whatever makes them the most money.

And what the CIA tells/pays them to say.

I thought fox network was not owned by Murdoch's newscorp? If it is I've got a job to quit....

Are you serious ? That is the main thing he is known for !

You know I always find of had a worrying feeling of the name "Time Warner".
It's just scary. You know that things are put out there in public view for us all to see but not understand, symbols, words(which are comprised of symbols, letters, which communicate meaning and conceptual understanding in the external world, from mind to mind).

We know... It's always on the first page of /r/conspiracy. It's a shame, but we know. Luckily we can start our own media with the internet at anytime. We all have the ability.

For now. In the UK at any rate they use any excuse to try and begin implementation of internet censorship.
1 gonucksgo 2015-02-02
Yeah. But for how much longer.
The internet has basically been the one thing we have left for real open discussion and critical thought away from the indoctrination of the big 6 and government complicity. And that is quickly coming to a close, as we are all slowly defined as terrorists UNDER THE LAW. If you control the information, you can write history anyway you please.
I wish more people used the freedom of the internet in forums for political and social discussion more than they do to look up fucking cats or other pop culture bullshit.
