Subject The media cannot be trusted until it is independently owned

Most all of the key media is owned or controlled by monopolistic enterprise or megalomaniacs.

Here are the major players of the Media Oligopoly.

CNN is owned by Turner Broadcasting, which is owned by Time Warner which is owned by AT&T.

ABC is owned by Disney.

CBS is majority owned by National Amusements, which also owns Viacom.

NBC is owned 51% by Comcast and 49% by General Electric.

Fox News is effectively controlled by Ruport Murdoch's News Corp. The entity is undergoing restructuring as 21st Century Fox is being spun off to Disney, and other changes are being made.

Discovery owns Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Investigation Discovery, Science Channel, TLC

Hearst Corporation owns a number of prominent newspapers and magazines, including San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, Cosmopolitan and Esquire, and has major holdings in A&E Networks and ESPN.

The Washington Post is owned by megalomaniac Jeff Bezos, major owner of Amazon and Whole Foods.

Scripps owns a number of regional newspapers, and 51 TV stations.

Unless and until the media becomes independent of its oligarchic owners, there will only be opinion, political slant, false news, and loss of objectivity.
