Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
Who owns the media? Who knows who owns the media? Will anyone tell us who owns the media? In this day and age our media is moving away from locally owned and operated to nationally and globally owned and operated outlets. As the media moves away from local ownership it is slowly being gobbled up by fewer and fewer individuals (most of the corporations are owned by only a few people)
90% of the media in Canada is owned by only Nine corporations. With the consolidation of the media, the stories and the “news” reported on are more biased and unhelpful to the local community. This allows for noteworthy news events to go under the radar screen (if, of course, they conflict with advertising interests). Corporate media is a controlled press. Not controlled by the government, but by stock holders interests. In a true democracy this type of media should not be allowed to flourish. In a true democracy, the media is completely uncontrolled and interested in protecting the local community.
In this day and age, we have a weapon. Called the blogsphere….. which allows anyone to be an editorial reporter or a journalist or pretend to be one of those types (like I’m doing). But there is no need for the corporation to win, when all you people out there can post away on the internet…. So please post. Please comment. Shout out and be heard. Just like wild coyotes barking at the moon.

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over”
