Most people don’t understand just how little

media

choice you have in getting all the facts, about anything, in a world where the media is so controlled.

We all know about these “other” countries that have state run

media

and controlled story lines, but is America all that different?

The fact is, that only a few companies own everything which demonstrates “the

illusion

of choice.”

Massive corporations dominate the U.S. media landscape. These companies have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these companies control everything from initial production to final distribution.

It is worth repeating again and again that the bulk of America’s mainline media is owned and controlled by a mere 6 corporations.

This, of course, means that unless you’re already consciously avoiding these mainstream media sources, then most of the news and entertainment that makes it onto your screen and into your mind comes from a small pool of corporate sources, all of which play important roles in delivering propaganda, social programming and perpetual crisis narratives to the public.

The six conglomerates are: General Electric, News Corp., Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and CBS.

Disney is widely regarded as an occult enterprise aimed at warping the minds of children with disturbing subliminal imagery. One of these companies is also the 12th largest US military defense contractor, so it’s no surprise that so much of our entertainment centers around the glorification of war and violence.

By surveying what is available for consumption in the mass media, it’s easy to see what type of society these 6 corporations are helping to construct.

They have the power to warp reality by calling staged shows ‘reality’ shows. Ideas which don’t support mainstream media narratives and the consumer agenda are omitted, and stories about independent people over-coming real life challenges without dependence on government are seldom if ever elevated.

The promotion of shallow, materialistic, ego-centric values, and the obvious dumbing down of the American population is coming from these 6 corporations.

Mind Illusions: Think about it. These are the companies that glorify consumption, obedience, ignorance, the hyper-sexualization of youth, the glorification of war and government surveillance, and so on.

The advertisers that support these media companies have tremendous sway over what makes it on the airwaves. They help to control public perception.

The bottom line is that corporate media is a behemoth of special interests and mind controllers. So much of the human story is omitted in this “capitalistic, for-profit environment” scheme like this, which is why now more than ever the independent, alternative media is such a gem for human kind.

With such tremendous global reach in all forms of media communication, these corporations help to shape our world by providing coverage of our lives, analyses of our world, entertainment to pass our time and inspire our minds, and even distraction and occupation for our children.

If you’d like to see a nice little info graphic, CLICK HERE to see one that Jason of the FrugalDad.com website put together for us.

It shows you the stats, such as, only 232 media executives, control what over 275 BILLION people are influenced by.

NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC or Comcast or any media anymore.

So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn’t own AOL, so Huffington Post isn’t affiliated with them.

We have nothing more than the illusion of choice. We will never get “all the facts” about any issue. It is controlled. It is biased.

What you hear from mainstream media can be a “total fabrication,” so never swallow it whole, it just may make you choke!
