Why Nobody Trusts the Mainstream Media

Is it a problem that the top six media corporations dominate the information flow to most of the developed world?
I think so.
Multi-billion SDR (Have the globalists imploded it yet? Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself). Multi-billion DOLLAR conglomerates, to use John Perkins‘ visualisation; “float around the globe like clouds”, with no loyalty to any particular nation, regardless if they have a head office in the very land mass in to which they pump warmongering patriotism and mainstream fear. Oh, and abdominal exerciser infomercials.
One of the issues is commercially driven, mass media serves a profit-hungry loyal to sponsors; meaning advertisers and government, not the public interest. There are bigger trends to consider too. Can history provide us any teachings?
Six Points
Six company names; Bertelsmann, NBC (Comcast / GE), Disney, News Corporation, Time Warner, and CBS (/ Viacom) summarise the biggest controllers of media and information flowing through our eyes and ears today.
It really is overwhelming to witness the power of a few men over all manner of worldwide media outlets, whether cinema, TV, DVD’s, print newspapers, magazines, cable TV, radio networks, or book publishing.
Wherever you look, editors are paid by their seniors make sure that certain topics are given attention, and other topics are not given attention. Do you think that a media mogul is ever going to run a devastating hit-piece about himself, should the truth make his position untenable? Of course not. Is it so hard to imagine that just as the wealthy and connected chiefs of these Orwellian empires would never act to hurt their personal interests, just as similarly they would never act to hurt their commercial interests? How about the commercial interests of their friends?
There is a Russian proverb: “Where money talks, the truth is silent.”
Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You
So-called journalists and reporters have mortgages to pay and mouths to feed, just like the rest of us. When confronted with heart-wrenching choices between intuition-approved honesty, versus the grinding war machine of profit and power, it is easy to understand the how and why corporate slaves roll over and capitulate to even questionable ambitions of their paymasters.
Their paymasters too, are subject to the rules, policy, laws and pressured from their superiors and executives above them. With the influence of money, the few at the top dictate to an organisation marching in lock-step to serve the superior beneficiaries in the boardroom.
Stepping back to gain some perspective, it seems that the charted direction of these corporate owned media warehouses of BS, endlessly continues to consolidate both wealth and more importantly; power. Disregarding any ethics or morals along the way, the obvious trajectory from 50 major companies sharing the US media market in 1983, down to 14 in 1992, and 6 today, alarmingly points out the looming next phase clearly sought by the owners, which is a de-facto monopolistic integration in to a centrally controlled communist propaganda machine. As Mark Crispin Miller remarked in the excellent documentary; Orwell Rolls in His Grave (2003) -
