Question

Rupert Murdoch owns:

I guess that must be who all these hicks are talking about... right?

Because as hard as I've looked, I can find one "liberal" media mogul who owns nearly that much control....

Your thoughts?

Answer 1

Anyone who still gets most of their knowledge about the world from the U.S. mainstream media must be very ignorant of the real world and does not even realize their ignorance. The newspapers and TV programs all speak with the same voice in matters relating to international affairs. And that voice is used solely to preserve U.S. government interest and shield U.S. image from being embarassed as much as possible. The news media only tell you the bits that they want you to know. The most laughable joke is that the U.S. media actually claim to be independent and free. Listen to almost every story they did regarding any issue the U.S. had with another nation over the years, epecially those that the U.S. government are not friendly with. As soon as the U.S. government says something, every outlet in the mainstream media spreads the words as if they were facts and repeats them as if they were gospel. The most typical and blatant examples of these are found everyday in the New York Times, CNN, Time magazine, Newsweek magazine, and the big network news programs like ABC, NBC, CBS. The tone of the language used for the U.S. side of the story has very little doubt, very little sarcasm, very few negative insinuations, and very little skepticism.

But when the words come from a "rival" of the U.S government or one that doesn't jive with U.S. interest at the time, at best the U.S. media will give it the minimum exposure possible and made sure it is mentioned in a way that most people who are not careful readers will simply miss it. But even then, they will still use every writing technique they know to cast tons of doubt, sarcasm, and skepticism upon anything that seems to go against U.S. interests at the time. One such common writing technique is insinuating that the opposite is actually true without making such a statement in a straightforward way. Insinuations are often used, through structuring sentences in a certain way and placing labels with negative connotations, to give readers an impression precisely because a straightforward statement of the same message would be easily seen as an obvious lie.

So, whenever I hear the media promoting itself as "independent and free", I always ask: independent from what? Free from what? From my observations over many years, the only rational conclusion is that the U.S. media is the unofficial fourth branch of the U.S. government.

And any "news junkie" who THINKS they know the world from the mouths of the media, without actually venturing to the outside world with an independent open mind, is even MORE ignorant than the journalists that feed the news to them.

Answer 2

The idea that any one political group controls all media is laughable -- as you point out.

Much of pure entertainment is neither liberal nor conservative, and it really doesn't matter who owns it -- it's content is based on what sells in the theatres.

Liberals tend to have a few more news-talk TV and cable stations and shows -- conservatives tend to have more talk-radio shows -- then there's Murdoch.

The bottom line is -- the 1st Amendment and the market economy allows people to watch what they want, listen to what they want, and the audience will determine who survives.
