what can we do? call your representatives and complain. But this is the kind of stuff they push through without ceremony.Do you think its bad that 5 companies control 90% of American Media, if so, What can we do about it?
We need another President like Teddy Rosevelt to break up these monopolies. Another thing is, our country is becoming anti small business by creating to many regulations. We need as much competition as possible, besides I want to buy from mom and pop not just Giantmart.
Yes, I think it is an atrocity. The media should be a public service, not a business. But that's not how things are run. If you live in the USA, our next president is likely to be chosen almost completely by these 5 companies. Most democrats believe more in the ideas of Kuchinich than Clinton, but since the media is ignoring him, he's gonna lose.





You sound like a smart fellow. Check out this magazine, it's called Adbusters. If you've never heard of it, I think you'd really like it.

First of all GE sucks, DISNEY has mostly gays working for them, news corp,has nothing better to do but try to keep things stirred up, Time Warner , well , need to hush , just like the rest of Americans. cause its like a pile of dunk, it doesn't stink unless you stir it.
And most of them are Jewish as well
Yes its bad......what we can do is use the alternative media , like the Internet.

What can we do about it?





At least learn how to discern between real news and editorial opinions that are masqueraded as news. And show others how to do that too.
Watch satellite tv.
close your eyes
Yes, of course, I think it's bad! But, we have a law against this sort of thing, it's call the Anti-Monopoly law. It's been on the books for years, it was use to break up AT%26amp;T many years ago. You can write to your Congress person %26amp; the Senator from your district %26amp; demand that they dust off that law %26amp; begin to apply it again. No matter which party, Republican or Democrat, you need to let them know that you know that they are not doing their job %26amp; that you sure as heck won't be voting for them unless they speak up in the Congress or Senate regarding the need to enforce this law again. You also need to get your friends, family, co-workers etc. involved in this effort. You can also send them e-mails. It all starts with a few people that really care, if you do, then let it start with you!
AIPAC is the biggest lobbyest in Washington and controls our country. We really can't do anything without dumping every government official and somehow getting rid of AIPAC.





Today, seven Jewish Americans run the vast majority of US television networks, the printed press, the Hollywood movie industry, the book publishing industry, and the recording industry. Most of these industries are bundled into huge media conglomerates run by the following seven individuals:





Gerald Levin, CEO and Director of AOL Time Warner





Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company





Edgar Bronfman, Sr., Chairman of Seagram Company Ltd





Edgar Bronfman, Jr, President and CEO of Seagram Company Ltd and head of Universal Studios





Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom, Inc





Dennis Dammerman, Vice Chairman of General Electric





Peter Chernin, President and Co-COO of News Corporation Limited





Those seven Jewish men collectively control ABC, NBC, CBS, the Turner Broadcasting System, CNN, MTV, Universal Studios, MCA Records, Geffen Records, DGC Records, GRP Records, Rising Tide Records, Curb/Universal Records, and Interscope Records
a. Put your fingers in your ears and yell ';LA LA LA LA LA LA'; continuously until the news is over.





b. Change the channel.





c. Stop watching broadcast news.





d. All of the above.
control allways an agreement of the stupid words
rupert murdoch owns 75% of american tv, and 90% of american news programmes- I use 'news' in the lightest way.


He also owns 40% of UK media.


You know this actually affects how well your country and mine (UK) does in the world audits lists of democracies.


It has not helped either of our nations, in effect, he controls the way that people think.


Wish there was a law against it.
Whoa....I didn't know that..





Are they Jewish too .....I'm asking for research only..
Boycott their news outlets and their sponsors. Including the dead tree media. The internet is the only venue where folks can get news from international and alternative sources.
Stop buying stuff and start making more stuff from scratch. Minimize and simplify. There's no reason we need a ton of stuff when our grandparents didn't have it.
Stop supporting them-only money is meaningful to these people.


Pushing Congress to reverse this trend is necessary but will take a very long time to make a difference.
