Editors Note:
A few decades ago, there were thousands of independent media outlets in the US.
Today in America, six multi-national global media mega corporations control 96%
of the content Americans see on TV and watch at the movies; read in books, magazines
and newspapers, and hear on the radio.

Time Warner, VIACOM, Vivendi Universal, Walt Disney, News Corp, General Electric


These 6 corporations own the major entertainment theme parks, movie studios, television
and radio broadcast networks and programing, cable and satellite channels, video news,
magazines, book publishers, sports entertainment, integrated telecommunications and the
communications satellites themselves, wireless phones, video games software, electronic media,
internet content, the music industry and more.

We would like to thank George Orwell for numerous contributions. We would also like to thank
people inside the corporate media for contributions.

I nhad a friend that reminded me of Elaine. Wonder when she will be on Marriage Ref? George was just on, Jerry has been on and I think he comes back next week again. I figure he will be on most bshows since it's his show. But they need Kramer, Newman, Puddy and several others from the show....hahaha....maybe Kenny Bania too.
