Who Owns the Media?

Massive corporations dominate the U.S. media landscape. Through a history of mergers and acquisitions, these companies have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution. In the interactive charts below we reveal who owns what.

money makes the world go round

but its truly a chicken or the egg situation

YES, media is a corporation with ownership,,however, the only way they make PROFIT is if they have SPONSORS, and the only way they get sponsors is if they get viewership for the Sponsors


and the viewers have a large part to say in what the media does, because without viewers they have no profits,,



but viewers watch more and more trash, and so more and more trash is what viewers get

The networks are dying..... that's why they are lobbying congress to
"control" the internet.... so they can continue the barrage of mind control they "had" acheived with the TV era...which is dying daily....

we get what we ask for

they can barely regulate internet nearly as much as they were able to regulate television stations,,,,as far as content is concerned,,,

we keep wanting 'more' and more (technology, access, privilege), but life is give and take,, meaning,,,if you


want to GET more

you have to GIVE more,,


with more privilege comes more responsibility,, as far as the cosmos are concerned,,,

This is why we MUST make it illegal for lobbyists to talk to our employees and make it illegal for our employees to talk to lobbyists!

We need to vote the money out as well as the bums!
