Illusion of Choice…..
These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America
Though this article is a couple of years old I found it pretty interesting.
I wondered….How many people know that their news choices that seem to come from many sources …..that they are in fact owned by a small number of corporations. That’s a lot of power.
We are inundated with so much news….it’s hard to keep up with it. I must confess that I only put up the most pertinent things….and sometimes not even them.
I personally sometimes get tired of hearing about all the stuff going on and I need a mental rest from it. I bet you do too.
From the article:
…..the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates “the illusion of choice,” Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren’t owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.
