The media, its not what it seams to be. Back in the 80s, there was at least 50 “owners” now that number has come down to 6. The six are; ime Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal.





It is not the fact that there are not enough owners of the media in The United States, it’s the fact that these 6 owners control what we the audience see in terms of television show, radio shows and especially advertisement. They basically have a lock and can control what we buy and can stir our interests because they can advertise anything through commercials or even product placement.

The same owner owns all TV stations and radio stations we listen and watch regularly and we the audience I am sure most likely have never even realized that. The fact that there is a single owner for most of the media is that they have they have the power to brainwash us to have the same view as them.



As the new generation is growing up, they are realizing that most of the news companies are not able to be trusted. For example, I know many people who hate to watch Fox news or read a certain newspaper because they know that the certain news group is bias against certain ideas. Basically at the end of the day, like every American business, concept, theory, etc. it is all about making money even if it isn’t the honest and moral way.
