The Feed - News That Doesn't Hurt

Yeah. What you're concerned about is not THAT he tried to shape the news but HOW he tried to shape it. If Time Magazine or the New York Times admitted to the same thing you'd have no problem with that. But they do it constantly.

The liberal media has an agenda. Why can't the conservative media counter it?

Because, like all supporters of the decision to go to war with Iraq, he's a Fascist, that's why.

News Corporation is a legal conglomerate of published media including movies, television, Fox News (a news channel), book and magazine publishing and many other things. But News Corporation does not own the whole news media.  What is important is competition.  It becomes worrisome should media groups such as Clear Channel (that was recently sold) owns over a thousand radio stations, and this means a single media thought can be used for a thousand outlets.  Why is one thought by massed own media bad?  Because foreign nations are not above using national tax money to control (their taxes bought you out and this is not the free market), so the power of the United States is competition including for its own citizens that is illustrated in this age of multi-national corporations including in lands with nobility, dictators, and despots that do invest in United States interests--the Dutch were the first foreign nation to loan money to the new United States government under President George Washington, before the U.S. Mint existed, so foreign investment has been happening from the beginning.  Competition is the key, and without competition in the news media we get one voice, and this is tyranny.

The Internet has been saving news media from itself though devices such as the blog and youtube, where the public conscious has affected what is reported: I have been bloging for years, and it is a group thing, because it is the general message that is communicated by the many that affects society, and any individual blogs that affect anyone they got lucky.  People check facts and will report bad things so fast, and this is the power of the blog, and it still does not preclude special interest that I have seen, but the public gets heard.  Competition, and if there is none, then tell us about it.
