F*ck Big Media: Rolling Your Own Network

Americans are becoming increasingly hungry for the truth. Do you think that anyone in the mainstream news would actually tell you that the Federal Reserve is bad for America or that we are facing a horrific derivatives bubble that could destroy the entire world financial system?

HOW DO YOU DESTORY
THE FACT FINDING PROCESS?

DEREGULATION = FREE MARKET = NO GOVERNMENT OVERSITE.


WITHOUT GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC BUSINESS IS ALLOWED TO MAKE MONEY ANYWAY THEY WANT NO MATTER HOW IT HURTS AMERICANS OR OUR COUNTRY.

Hollywood Mogul William Fox loses Fox Movie Studios to its creditors, making it the first studio to fall after the stock market crash of 1929.

2012 TV executive from Time Warner and Comcas set up Colorado based CableLabs, a nonprofit R&D consortium to Fight Off Online Streaming Services like Netflix and Hulu. They will develop a home-grown pool of new tech in collaboration with startups, established firms, and leading universities for "cord-cutting".

2012 Escape your personal filter bubble The future is where our media is corrupted with information that serves the goals of special interest groups. Special interest groups will gladly pay for the media they want you to read, but you won't pay for the media you need to read. Eli Pariser excellent book The Filter Bubble, means that each person is trapped within their own little bubble of personalized results, seeing things tailored only to them. If done right, where people all appear to Google as if they were brand new visitors with no search history at all, it's hard for Google to personalize anything at all in a filter bubble way. When you search the internet different results are shown to different people. Results are tailored to who you are based on your search history and your click history. Since you often click on things you agree with you keep getting more and more of what you already agree with. Even when using incognito mode you miss being exposed to opposing information.

The Most Dangerous Man in America:
Daniel Ellsberg & the Pentagon Papers

CONSCIENCE BEFORE CAREER

Public Institutions and Agencies Weaken the Trust of the Public. Media - Business Journalists are cozy with Wall Street and Government, so they don't report the truth.

Media Literacy: These gigantic media corporations are not going to do anything to threaten their relationships with their biggest advertisers and are always going to express the ideological viewpoints of their owners.

1971--Daniel Ellsberg, a top-level Vietnam War strategist, concludes the war is based on a decade of lies. Remember: The FBI was trying to find out WHO gave a copy of the Pentagon Papers to the NYT. starts at .55 video clip ] Kissinger ~ [ " . . .You can't have orderly government anymore."]
It was the integrity and courage of the media to stand up to the troops that surrounded the NYT and the other newspapers across the nation willing to publish the truth that protected the interests of the country. Now because of deregulation the government only needs to control 6 corporations.

The 6 Monolithic Corporations That Control Almost Everything We Watch, Hear And Read
Ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people. Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money.
The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the “big six” absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States.
Clear Channel now owns over 1000 radio stations across the United States. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are increasingly dominating the Internet. In 1983, fifty corporations dominated most of every mass medium. The chart reveals only a small fraction of the media outlets that these six behemoths actually own.
