Grand Theft America...

I don't know if you happen to know who own the media, not only in the USA, but in the world. If you look at the ownership of it you will soon find out that by logic they have some very important financial interests to protect. Why would they want to jeopardize those interests?

If so, you must not be looking at the same media as I do.

O.K., Charlie, tell us who owns the media.

`?

Your question was who owns the media. Newspaper, TV, whatever, they are all companies. A corporation is a company. In your post you said, " If you look at the ownership of it you will soon find out...".
"The media" is many, many companies. Your suggestion of "corporations? makes no sense. The companies own the companies.
To which company do you refer, Charlie, or do you think that one company owns them all? ("the ownership of it")
Time for you to educate us and tell us who you think. How about a direct answer this time instead of something followed by a question mark.

for months to you. You still wouldn't get it J...

You said, "I don't know if you happen to know who own the media, not only in the USA, but in the world. If you look at the ownership of it you will soon find out that by logic they have some very important financial interests to protect.".
That clearly shows that you think that you know "who owns the media". But when asked who you think does, which prompted your "logic", you refused to answer.
It's quite clear that you will continue to avoid that question, which is the basis of the "logic" of your statement in your post.

Perhaps the answer to the question can be found here and here.

The big Enterprises! Either they ARE big enterprises or they are owned by them. But the owners are always the same; those with very specific financial interests; to gain the maximum amount of money and to be able to fire those who sell their labor as easy as possible, to pay the least amount of taxes, to pay the lowest salaries etc. All those things that are in the interest of those who buy the labor force. And there are two sides here willing to satisfy them and those are Democrats and Republicans (both heavily supported financially by the corporations of our nation). Thus the media will never present a discussion about an alternative economic system or alternative ways of governing the country or an alternative foreign policy and that is one of the main reasons why so many in this forum for example are completely blind and have very poor knowledge about what is going on outside our borders apart from the info they have been stuffed with from the big media corporations and their owners...

Who should own the media?

While understanding your point they have their own agenda, but they are not non-profit organizations, and yes, they are out to make money.

Who would you have run them? the government? that's going to be an unbiased manangement? yeah, right.

AH HA, there it is.

Bold emphasis mine.

We're all duped ignorants huh? thanks. I guess until we all use and prefer non US sources we have no hope of understanding, as has been pointed out before. Oh well.

Only some here are duped ignorants.

From your point regarding media, I would assume that is anyone that reads, views, or listens to any of the mainstream media, esp of the USA.

But those who don't look for alternative sources and who don't use their own head, the libraries and the book stores to gather alternative information. I assume this is still legal despite the Patriotic Regime that we have. The search for the truth must go on Roger. We cannot just absorb what THEY tell us up on the hill...

I will respond to that when your "colleagues" have responded to the following questions:

? DK blamed me

? DE on volunteering.

? DE repeating an insult which is not only false but insulting.

you won't answer questions til your questions have been answered?

that has to be the biggest load of b/s i ever read!

#DK blamed me#

and rightly so!!

you quoted directly from common dreams, deny it and you're a liar!

you want "proof"?

you linked to common dreams and you used their headline....

Sorry, I can't answer for them, and it's politer not to express some of my opinions on those debates, not to mention being too free would almost certainly earn me a TOS violation.

I just thought since you felt most of the media was untrustworthy because of who own them , you may have a suggestion of who would run them better.

Your vast knowledge all of those in SE that disagree with your take would be lost! I guess we are all too old or too stupid to understand what you are trying to say! What a shame!

support our President, do you mean they are all on Kerry's side?? From what I read and see on the news, the media does it's best to discredit anything President Bush stands for!
