This guy, like the left is wrong!

GE is the largest media empire. GE is so left leaning it is falling over. Its so large, its over 120 Billion larger than it #2 competitor Walt Disney who only did 36 Billion in revenues.. Fox is owned by News Corp who only did 30 Billion in revenue. Sounds like the left is the king of slant.

2009 revenues: $157 billion GE
2009 revenues: $36.1 billion Disney
2009 revenues: $30.4 billion News Corp ( FOX)
2009 revenues: $25.8 billion Time Warner

Who owns what in Media link

@bobknight33, who said anything about liberal? I think the larger issue is the "chilling" effect legal action and the loss of corporate sponsorship has on objective reporting in the modern media. From wikipedia:
"In a legal context, a chilling effect is the term used to describe the inhibition or discouragement of the legitimate exercise of a constitutional right by the threat of legal sanction."

More to Farrakhan's point, read this article from 2006 on eneregygrid.com - here's a snip:

"US liberal media is dying because it has started to play by the same rules as mainstream media — primary being not to annoy your corporate sponsors by presenting anything too radical."

My assumption is that he doesn't know about Apple's business practices beyond the advertising campaigns. He's likely getting at the idea how this new technology is breaking down the barriers to communication and people are able to organise themselves like never before.

The main stream media is the liberal media that's my point. Society needs more people figuring that out. For as much as people hate them (FOX news, Glen Beck etc,) they do bring stories forth stories that the main stream does not. EX. Main stream imply that Muslims are a peaceful religion. Its not. The true desire of this religion is to convert or kill. They treat their women like dogs. How can Americans tolerate that? But yet main stream media play stories that they are a nice bunch of people. >> ^alcom:

I hope you're not suggesting Fox News actually does a better job of objective reporting. If anyone has a slant to the power elite and an interest in the status quo, it is Fox News. It's unfathomable that one would think most of Glen Beck's reporting has your interests at heart unless you are some kind of millionaire.

More than anything, today's mass media is fed to us to incite apathy and distract us from the growing inequality and corporate influence on public policy. So how would a ranting, racist generalization of Muslims help one be better informed about the USA and world?
