Increasingly, the so-called “mainstream” establishment media is being scooped up by just a handful of mega-corporations, not necessarily because the news business is insanely profitable, but more because the moguls doing the purchasing want to control what the American public hears.

Indeed, as noted by MintPress News, most legacy media outlets are owned by just a half-dozen corporations, and they are nearly universal in their political ideology.

But politically motivated corporate owners aren’t the only ones seeking to control the propaganda – er, news – that Americans hear on a daily basis. With so few companies owning so much media, the U.S. government has never found it easier to impose its will over the industry.

Yes, of course, in the United States we have a legal construct in our founding document known as “freedom of the press.” But over the years as the very same press has worked hard to empower big, massive, centralized government in Washington, D.C., they have essentially built their own oppression apparatus.

Controlling the media means controlling what you learn and don’t learn
