Reply #8: Don't forget profits for the parent corporations. [View All]

[tabasco]

The mass media is owned by giant war profiteering corporations.

They will accept loss in the media branch to further the agenda of the parent corp.

Consider the mass media as the propaganda arm of the war profiteers.

It is NOT about ratings. It is about furthering the agenda of the parent corporations. That is where the big money is (our tax dollars). They certainly pay attention to ratings and try to keep them up, but ratings are not the raison d'etre of the mass media.

Ratings have been more important in the past, when the media was more independent, but now, the mission of the mass media is to further the agenda of the war profiteering parent corporations. They want to keep the republicans in power because the sole purpose of the republicans is to help the rich get richer by allowing the corporations to run the country.

They have even taken us to war for corporate profits. And the mass media was there to cheerlead the war.

Sad days for America.
