Many channels, no choice: many Americans think that news and entertainment providers differ from one another. in reality, the same global cabal essentially controls them all. (The Media Cartel).
For the Joneses -- a hypothetical, representative middle-American family -- the typical day begins at 5:30 a.m., with ESPN Radio blaring from Dad's clock radio. As Dad, morning cup of coffee in hand, skims the headlines of his "local" newspaper (which actually is an outlet for the Gannett newspaper chain), Mom watches the Today show as she fixes breakfast. Later in the morning, after the rest of the family is away at school and work, Mom -- her schedule permitting -- may sit down and watch The View or take in a movie on the Lifetime cable network.The family's two school-age children begin the day with a news digest presented by CNN's Channel One service. Lunchtime conversations with friends are invariably peppered with references to prime-time television and pop stars such as Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Eminem. Dad spends part of his lunch break listening to Rush Limbaugh, and catches a bit of Sean Hannity's syndicated radio talk show during the drive home. After dinner, the kids log on to America Online to play computer games. Some nights, Dad drives to Blockbuster to pick up the latest Disney film on DVD. On other nights, part of the family will sample from current prime-time fare -- particularly "reality" programs like Survivor or Joe Millionaire -- while the kids (each of whom has a personal television set) spend some "quality time" communing with MTV.
Like tens of millions of their fellow Americans, the hypothetical (but quite typical) Jones family has spent an entire day comfortably cocooned inside the media matrix. For several hours they have consumed thoughts, opinions, and performances pre-packaged for them by people they do not know and will never meet. The Jones' worldview has been molded -- sometimes subtly, sometimes brazenly -- by people with an agenda, people who are, almost without exception, somehow connected to one of about a half-dozen global media conglomerates. And, as the previous article demonstrated, the media cartel itself is an instrument of a shadowy global power elite seeking total political, economic, and cultural control over the world.
One Elite, Many Conduits
The explosive growth of talk radio, the proliferation of cable television channels, and the rise of the Internet have created an unprecedented wealth of news and entertainment options. But the number of news outlets does not guarantee diversity if they merely stem from the same dominant cartel. Through a series of corporate mergers that took place over the past decade, the news and entertainment media have effectively fallen under the control of a handful of transnational conglomerates: AOL Time Warner, Disney, Viacom, News Corp, and Sony.
Passive media consumers generally don't understand the extent to which the cartel limits their options. For example, Viacom owns both the CBS and UPN television networks, as well as Showtime, MTV, Paramount Pictures, and Simon & Schuster books. Disney owns the ABC, A&E, and Lifetime networks, co-owns ESPN, and operates Disney's well-known motion picture properties. AOL Time Warner is not only the world's largest Internet service provider, but also owns the CNN, TNT, TBS, and HBO networks, Warner Brothers studios, and a host of publishing ventures.
Projecting from present trends into the near future, Neil Hickey of the Columbia Journalism Review paints a "nightmare scenario in which "some transnational company that knows little and cares less about your community ... will own your local daily and weekly newspapers, all your television and radio stations, the cable system, the Internet service provider, several of the national networks that serve you, your local video stores and movie houses, many of the magazines and books you read, and all of the sports teams in your area."
This media monolith "would allow endless cross-promotion of the owner's interests and probably very little hard news," Hickey continues. But media consolidation offers even more sinister possibilities. Eventually, Hickey predicts, "Everything you see, every opinion, every image, and every jot of information [could] arrive through one corporate filter." This prospect becomes even more ominous when you consider that a cabal would manage the "corporate filter" through which all news, views, and opinions would pass -- a cabal that seeks total dominion, both political and economic, over the entire globe.
The CFR's Corporate Shadows
If you've recently watched the nightly news or prime-time TV, bought a best-selling book, picked up a "local" newspaper, bought a CD, or attended a movie, chances are that the product in question has passed through a CFR-connected corporate filter.
In January 2001, a $165 billion merger joined America Online (AOL), the world's largest Internet service provider, with Time Warner, creating history's largest news, entertainment, and publishing conglomerate. The key players in the merger were Gerald Levin and W. Thomas Johnson, both of whom are members of the CFR. Even a cursory review of the corporate rolls of AOL Time Warner and its CNN news subsidiary demonstrates that the CFR essentially runs both operations (see the chart on page 13).
Both AOL Time Warner and Disney/ABC are CFR corporate members, and together they control more than $200 billion in news and entertainment assets. Vivendi Universal and Sony round out the global media-entertainment complex, accounting for large chunks of the movie and music industry. Both Vivendi and Sony's American subsidiary are corporate CFR members.
Two CFR members currently serve on the board of directors for Gannett Co., which publishes USA Today, owns a string of nearly identical "local" newspapers, and operates scores of television stations coast-to-coast. And as the previous article points out, the Washington Post and New York Times -- the tone-setting newspapers for both the print and electronic media -- are essentially CFR print organs.
The Times, as self-appointed gatekeeper of "All the News that's Fit to Print," remains the single most important media organ in terms of defining the issues that constitute the "news," and shaping coverage of them. Decades ago, Herbert Matthews, the Times correspondent who used his post to promote Fidel Castro's rise to power, once boasted that the paper is "the most powerful journalistic instrument that has ever been forged in the free world." The writers and editors whose work fills the Times' column space, Matthews declared, "use arms that, metaphorically speaking, are the equivalent of nuclear bombs."
"The New York Times achieves very considerable editorial effect by selecting and positioning the news," pointed out Herman H. Dinsmore, a defector from the Times editorial staff, in his expose All the News that Fits. "As the Times goes, so goes a large part of the nation's press." This remains true even in the age of 24/7 cable news and the Internet: The CFR-dominated Times continues to be the supposed "gold standard" against which the credibility of other news sources is measured.
Cartel "Conservatives"
Because the CFR has strategically seeded its personnel throughout the media cartel, its interests are represented no matter which elements of the cartel currently enjoy a competitive advantage. And the CFR's media cartel has dominant influence over both the leftist "mainstream" media and significant elements of the "conservative" media.
"The media is kind of weird these days, and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Republican Party," groused former Vice President Al Gore in an interview with the New York Observer. "Fox News Network, the Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh -- there's a bunch of them.... Most of the media have been slow to recognize the pervasive impact of this fifth column in their ranks...."
In using the expression "fifth column," Gore illustrated the common liberal conceit that conservative perspectives have no legitimate role in the "mainstream" media, which is to exclusively propagate liberal views. Thus conservative viewpoints, from Gore's perspective, must be smuggled into the media through stealthy, disciplined action.
The truth is that the liberal media have lost both credibility and consumer share in recent years. The major network newscasts, featuring Dan Rather (CFR) at CBS, Tom Brokaw (CFR) at NBC, and Peter Jennings at ABC, confront plummeting ratings and a dwindling audience of aging viewers. CNN, the jewel in the AOL Time Warner crown, has been consistently beaten in the ratings by Fox News. Does this mean, as Gore complained, that the media have taken on a "weird" -- meaning conservative -- character? Not necessarily. Moreover, the ascendancy of Fox News illustrates the extent of the CFR-headed media cartel's control.
Fox News is the showpiece property of News Corn, a transnational media empire owned by Australian expatriate -- and CFR member -- Rupert Murdoch. The $38 billion Murdoch global empire (which includes the New York Post and a half-dozen major publishers) was built on a foundation of Fleet Street tabloids in London. Fox Broadcasting Company's primetime entertainment programs rely heavily on titillation and "edgy" sexual content.
In April 2000, Murdoch's News Corn sponsored a conference in New York City entitled "Global Forum: America's Role in the World," which attracted dozens of political and journalistic heavyweights from the CFR and its sister elitist front group the Trilateral Commission. In the May 8,2000 issue of The New Republic, Franklin Foer described the event as Murdoch's "own personal Council on Foreign Relations" -- a meeting of the power elite given a Murdoch-style media makeover. "Panelists entered the room to videos with frenetic graphics and loud sound effects suspiciously similar to those used to introduce players on Fox's NFL broadcasts," observed Foer.
Panelists included CFR luminaries Newt Gingrich, Robert Kerry, Colin Powell, Robert Rubin, and Henry Kissinger. World Bank President James Wolfensohn and former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev were also on hand to dispense their globalist insights. The list of opinion molders in the audience included conservative talk radio mega-star Rush Limbaugh.
Conservatives and liberals alike regard Murdoch's Fox News Channel as a right-leaning alternative to CNN and the network evening news. It is true that Fox News has given a platform to conservative pundits and talking heads, and during its relatively brief lifespan it has shown initiative and independence in covering many stories spiked by other Establishment networks. Yet there is ample reason for conservatives to watch Fox News with the same critical eye that they would apply to other news networks.
Fox News boasts the motto, "We report -- you decide," which many perceive as a commitment to independence and objectivity. But that credo can also be viewed as a variation on the New York Times' motto, "All the News that's Fit to Print." After all, who decides what is reported by Fox News? Do Murdoch's Insider connections and calculations of corporate self-interest play a gatekeeping role in defining Fox's news coverage? Murdoch's media track record abroad demonstrates that he's very much in the business of dispensing managed news.
Murdoch's cynicism has been conspicuous in his dealings with Communist China. "In 1994 ... News Corp's publishing house HarperCollins printed a glowing biography of the then-Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, by his daughter, Mao Mao," noted independent Chinese writer Yun Ding in the April 2001 New Internationalist. "In 1998 it dropped a more critical book by former Governor of Hong Kong Chris Patten whilst Murdoch stepped up his cultivation of senior Party figures. His UK paper The Times hosted the editor of the People's Daily Shao Huaze -- appointed as part of the 1989 post-Tiananmen crackdown -- on a tour of Britain to mark a joint venture between the paper, China's equivalent of Pravda, and News Corp. Former East Asia editor of The Times Jonathan Mirsky told a Freedom Forum gathering in January 1998 that the paper 'has simply decided, because of Murdoch's interests, not to cover China in a serious way.'"
News Corp's Phoenix TV channel -- the only nominally private channel in Communist China -- is chaired by former Chinese People's Liberation Army officer Liu Changle. In January 2001, Phoenix launched a 24-hour newscast that, according to Huaze, "sticks to the correct political line so closely that Premier Zhu Rongji saw fit to announce at a press conference how often he watched Phoenix."
Good Morning China, Phoenix's attempt to import U.S.-style morning programs to mainland China, dutifully "reports editorials from the major state newspapers," notes Huaze. Murdoch's Chinese TV network carefully avoids subjects like the government's crackdown on the peaceful Falun Gong sect or labor unrest. "The biggest challenge will be how to balance between appealing to the general public without offending government authorities," explains Phoenix Chairman Liu. At a press conference held at his Fox Studios in Los Angeles, Murdoch candidly described the Phoenix network's censorship policy: "If a TV program covers forbidden ground, we will have no choice but to delete it from our broadcast."
Government-Media Collusion
Murdoch is hardly the only member of the global media cartel to prostitute himself before Beijing's Communist rulers. The media cartel's top leadership gathered in Shanghai in September 1999 for the "Fortune Global Forum," an event sponsored by Time-Warner timed to coincide with celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Communist conquest of China. CNN founder Ted Turner set the tone for the event in his opening speech by announcing that he was "a socialist at heart."
In his speech, then-Time Warner CEO Gerald Levin (CFR) publicly fawned over his "good friend" Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Levin told his audience he had "been privileged to spend considerable time" with Jiang, and praised the Communist ruler's "sincerity, openness and thoughtful insights into the history and politics of my own nation.... He has worked tirelessly to ensure that his nation has the means to improve the material condition of its people's lives."
"It is the hope of this Fortune Global Forum," Levin declared, to bring together "international leaders from the public and private sectors" and create the kind of "economic, environmental and existential bonds that tie us all to a common human fate." Translated into practical terms, what Levin and his fellow media moguls were seeking was access to the captive Chinese market. "All you business leaders, set your eyes on China," declared Jiang in his own address. "China welcomes you. China's modernization needs your participation, and China's economic development will also offer you tremendous opportunities."
Those opportunities, of course, require that businessmen accept dictation from Beijing -- a condition that the global media masters eagerly accept. Sumner Redstone, CEO of media giant Viacom (which owns CBS) volunteered that the press should avoid being "unnecessarily offensive to the government" of China. "We do not view it as our role to tell the government of China how to run China," insisted Redstone. "We want to do business. We cannot succeed in China without being a friend of... the Chinese government."
Such statements obviously diminish the major media's credibility in covering China. But the problem runs much deeper. After all, in kowtowing to the Butchers of Beijing, the lords of the media universe -- including "conservative" mogul Rupert Murdoch -- have admitted that they shape, mold, and sculpt the news to benefit that corrupt ruling elite.
It is said that Winston Churchill, during a conversation with an unpleasant woman, asked if she would compromise her virtue in exchange for one million pounds. After she replied that she would, Churchill inquired: "Well, how about for one pound?" "Winston! What sort of woman do you think I am?" responded the outraged woman. To which Churchill offered the unforgettable reply: "Madam, that matter has already been solved. Now we're just haggling over your price."
Similarly, the media masters, in seeking Beijing's favor, admitted to being prostitutes. If they'll sell themselves into the service of the Chinese Communist Party, they're obviously willing to perform the same corrupt service on behalf of the global power elite, for which the global media cartel is an indispensable weapon in the drive for global hegemony. The so-called conservative wing of the media cartel may offer a somewhat different editorial content than the liberal wing -- but don't expect that content to differ so greatly that it throws the power elite's agenda off track.
