I didn't say independently owned news outlets are biased only that they have been in the past and that being independently owned is is not some guarantee to truthful reporting in the same way that having multiple interests must lead to self interest and manipulation of the media . General electric should be allowed to have whatever voice they want and be able to present the news how they see fit within the law. Nothings stopping anyone from starting an independently operated media outlet many just can't compete or draw talent and viewers these days. Its not some form of mind control by large conglomerates and I really doubt those billionaires are super involved in what there new stations report on any consistent basis so saying there all controlled by these individuals is silly. You more and more remind me of the hippies from South park talking about the corporations and the machine out to get us with complex plots for control of society
You make feel less embarrassed for those that use the term, "sheeple." Adding it to my vocabulary.
"being independently owned is is not some guarantee to truthful reporting in the same way that having multiple interests must lead to self interest and manipulation of the media" What is this even supposed to mean?
" General electric should be allowed to have whatever voice they want and be able to present the news how they see fit within the law." I'm sure they appreciate your support.
"Nothings stopping anyone from starting an independently operated media outlet many just can't compete or draw talent and viewers these days." well aside from the inability to compete with the billionaires, nothing is stopping someone from owning independent media.
"Its not some form of mind control by large conglomerates and I really doubt those billionaires are super involved in what there new stations report on any consistent basis so saying there all controlled by these individuals is silly."
I didn't say mind control. It's influence. You doubt the billionaires are super involved. That's reassuring. Except that they don't need to be. The people that run their organizations are well aware of who they work for.
Even arguing with you at all validates what you write more than it deserves. You simply pull all of this out of your ass and then your big "burn" is "you're a hippie like the ones on South Park." You're a product of our education system. You are barely coherent and even if your ideas made sense to begin with by the time you mangled them with what I will generously call your writing style they would still be unintelligible.
