Is Media in Bed with Corporate America?
Let us focus on our democracy (if we have one) and not include countries controlled by dictators. There are three thoughts that we need to address:
• The Candy Wrapper
• Who Sold His Soul?
• Rupert Murdoch verse Ted Turner - How Much and How Long Our Great America Can Endure?
• Evil vs Good
The Candy Wrapper
It is the wrapper, not the candy that sells, therefore
Corporate America and governments use the media to sell anything including
wars and presidential impeachment. As the wrapper is important to candy
makers, the media is even more important for those who are running things
behind the scenes. History is full of examples such as President Wilson in
the First World War, German propaganda (Nazi Joseph Goebbels) minister and
recently President George W. Bush with the Iraq War. In short, both Corporate
America and governments use the media to wrap their hidden agendas and
target goals and sell them to the misinformed public.
Sadly, our lawmakers and the media are part of the game.
Our lawmakers and the media are the real protectors of our great
country and democracy. In their absence, our country is a fair game
and an open season for all these hidden agendas and goals.
Who Sold His Soul?
Looking at the media staff including executives, we do not want to mention
any names. The media staff's salaries and bonuses are in ten of millions ($10,000,000) if
not hundreds of millions ($100,000,000). Even the owners of these media corporations have their wealth
tied up in other corporations, banks and stocks. They would not dare
oppose Corporate America, otherwise they may end up losing most their wealth.
Our question is:
Did they sell their soul and our world including mother Earth?
Only the media staff know.

How Much and How Long Our Great America Can Endure?

Keith Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born American media mogul. His net worth: 16.1 billion
USD (2018) Forbes. He owns Fox News, News Corporation, Sky UK, MORE.

Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III is an American media mogul and philanthropist. His net
worth: 2.2 billion USD (2018) Forbes. He owns CNN, Turner Broadcasting System, MORE

We view the Trump presidency as an ego-personal war between Murdoch and Turner. Sadly both Murdoch and Turner
are cashing on Trump unpresidential actions which divide our country. Trump makes news and Murdoch and Turner
are the players behind the scene. We also feel the Republican Party members are aware of that. Therefore, no
Republican senator nor congressman would dare confront Trump otherwise they would have to face both Murdoch and Turner
and their media machines. We cannot help see that the media and media owners do not have conscience nor they care. It sounds
that making billions from our suffering is justified. Our great country deserves better.
Evil vs Good
'One Man's Terrorist is Another Man's Freedom Fighter'.
For example, in 1775, King George III addressed both houses of the British Parliament
concerning the rebellion in America.
These rebels are our founding fathers who started our American Revolution.
We will list the top issues in our world and let the reader
decide which side the media is on (Evil or Good):
