How evil corporations destroy America

[occupied]

Media corporations are not necessarily evil, the word you are looking for is "amoral". If there was profit in being accurate and socially responsible they would do that but apparently lies and propaganda are much more lucrative.

Corporate Media Rules and Investigative Journalism
ARE Dead

Just 6 corporations control everything that most citizens ever read, hear, and watch -
General Electric - $157 Billion
Disney - $36.1 Billion
News Corp. - $30.4 Billion
Time-Warner - $25.8 Billion
Viacom - $13.6 Billion
CBS - $13 Billion

Instead of reporting facts, they now ALL push conservative propaganda.
As a result, US citizens are becoming more stupid by the day.
Knowledge is power.
Your government does NOT want you to have it.
Corporate mainstream media is bought and paid for - true journalism is dead.
EVEN Hillary Clinton said that Al Jazeera is the most accurate news service.

Just a piece of avice:
Mix your media (sources of information), or become a manipulated dunce.
Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources.

How are FOX viewers mis-informed? How do they lie?

If they have done these things, then they should be scrutinized severely for them, and you were saying ?

I watched the first link. Nothing was said about Al Sharpton that wasn't true...so I didn't bother with the rest of your proof, make that phony shit.

Thanks to aright wing money, there is no oversight. You don't have to believe me. You can watch Murdoch and others plan and plot the demise of American journalism by taking over the FCC.

A huge problem we're seeing now is that people don't remember a time when you could actually get NEWS from news networks and news programs. They think being lied to is normal.

Not even remotely close. More like the opposite actually. Fox Noise is a cable channel.
Where do you come up with this degree of malarkey?

But you are spot-on correct that the unwashed enjoy being misled. They'd rather hear what they want to hear than reality.

The unwashed are the ONLY ones still watching network news. They can't afford cable or so they say because it's not within their welfare income budget. Somehow, some way they can afford 60 inch HDTVs, hair extensions, Sak's 5th Avenue clothing/jewelry and hot cahs with 22 inch rims. This, on top of section 8 housing, donated food supplementing their food stamps and tickets to any rap concert.

Meanwhile...network news ratings are so low that consideration was given to discontinue it a few years back.

This is the most blatantly bullshittingly clueless post I've read all day. Not just for the avalanche of blanket stereotypes -- that was entertaining enough-- but then the abject ignorance about broadcast ratings continues on the heels of the opening canard imagining a cable channel outdrawing any three alphabets...

Audience ratings exist for exactly one purpose, and that is to sell advertising. It measures how many eyeballs are tuned in to your bullshit, rather than somebody else's bullshit, so that if your bullshit numbers are higher you can charge more. Ratings aren't going anywhere as long as there's commercialism in broadcasting.

News isn't either, because broadcast licenses are awarded on the basis that the broadcaster serve its community "in the public interest, convenience and necessity". To that end it's expected to present some kind of content of interest and utility to the general public. That's why you'll see some station broadcasting a city council meeting at 4am when there's nobody watching -- it's a way they can go back to the FCC at license renewal time and go "see? we broadcast city council meetings, ain't we a public service!?" -- without of course losing the money they can make in a better time slot running some abjectly mindless "reality" show about people stranded on an island forced to eat bugs because it sells.

News doesn't sell. News (real news) has never sold and never will, because it's dry, unemotional, cold facts. Alphabet news like we see at 6pm has always been subsidized by the shlock programming that follows it. News (real news) is expensive. You need reporters flying around the world carrying satellite phones and camera crews and uplink vans. You need foreign bureaus. That takes serious cash. News (real news) programs have never been engineered or expected to make money (ratings). That's not their purpose. Their purpose is to look good on the license application.

None of which means squat about Fox, because in spite of its name what Fox Noise does isn't news --- it's News Theater. News Theater sells, where news (real) doesn't. And it's way cheaper --- you don't need the camera crews and the vans and the reporters flying around; you just plunk talking heads in a studio and have them talk about the news, with a slant on it. Now you've got the emotional hook. You have them pound on the table (if they're male) or wear a short skirt (if they're female), make sure they talk about people rather than policy, and you have another one. You run suggestive chyrons across the bottom of the screen and you have still another. That's the only way you make money and have anything to do with "news" - by telling the audience that tonight's "news" (theater) is that there are vast conspiratorial monsters out there to kill you and we'll tell you who they are after, of course, these messages from our sponsors, which is what we're really here for.

And to their discredit plenty of Fox's competitors (yes competitors, because it's all about who can sell the most ads) have followed them down the same hole. Which also re-confirms what the objective is. News (real news) isn't competitive; it's information everybody needs. When you see competition, it's exactly because somebody's making money on it.

I doubt that's a fact but it's irrelevant. Ratings measure attention, not assent.

NAFTA - A royal screw job for American workers.
Attacks against Social Security - which pays ITS OWN WAY.
Attacks against Medicare - which pays ITS OWN WAY.
Attacks on labor unions - which protect American workers.
Wisconsin politicians need to burn in Hell.
Green cards for foreign workers, shutting out qualified U.S. workers.
