INTRODUCTION: THE FALL OF JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY

In a world where information is more accessible than ever, journalism should be at its peak—dedicated to uncovering facts, offering balanced reporting, and carrying out in-depth investigative work. However, what we often witness today is a media landscape dominated by narratives, selective reporting, and a lack of genuine investigative journalism. This erosion of journalistic integrity is no coincidence. The media in the United States is no longer the independent voice it once was. Instead, it has become a tool for powerful corporate and political interests, which directly stifles journalists’ ability to report objectively and thoroughly.

The role of a journalist should be one of neutrality, honesty, and integrity—committed to uncovering the truth no matter how inconvenient it may be to those in power. However, today, many journalists find themselves working in an industry where corporate owners demand adherence to certain narratives. As a result, the public receives a watered-down version of the truth, carefully crafted to serve the agendas of those who control the media. This manipulation of free speech and public discourse is not only detrimental to journalism but also to democracy itself.

This article explores the ownership of the mainstream media, the agenda behind it, and why this shift is dangerous for democracy and the future of free journalism. We’ll also look at Hollywood’s evolution from a feared communist influence to one now seemingly dominated by globalist ideals.

WHO OWNS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA?

In the United States, a small number of powerful corporations control the vast majority of the mainstream media outlets. These conglomerates shape public perception on a wide range of political, social, and economic issues. The control is concentrated among the “Big Six” media companies:

1. Comcast: The largest media conglomerate in the U.S., Comcast owns NBCUniversal, which includes NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and Telemundo. The company also controls Universal Pictures. Comcast is led by CEO Brian L. Roberts, an American of Jewish descent, and the Roberts family continues to exert control over the company.
2. The Walt Disney Company: Disney owns ABC, ESPN, and a wide array of entertainment outlets, including Pixar, Marvel Studios, and Lucasfilm. Historically, Jewish figures like Michael Eisner and current chairman Bob Iger have played significant roles in shaping Disney’s influence in both news and entertainment.
3. AT&T (WarnerMedia): AT&T owns CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros., among other media properties. Although AT&T’s leadership is not predominantly Jewish, its media subsidiaries have had key Jewish figures in leadership roles, such as Barry Meyer, former CEO of Warner Bros.
4. ViacomCBS: Led by Shari Redstone, an American Jewish businesswoman, ViacomCBS controls CBS, Showtime, MTV, and Paramount Pictures. The Redstone family has long been a driving force behind the media empire.
5. News Corp (Fox Corporation): Controlled by Rupert Murdoch and his family, News Corp includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post. While Murdoch is not Jewish, his media empire has significant connections with other prominent Jewish figures in the media industry.
6. Sony: A Japanese multinational corporation, Sony owns Sony Pictures and other entertainment subsidiaries. Sony plays a major role in shaping global media through its Hollywood-based operations.

Together, these six corporations control approximately 90% of the media consumed by Americans. This concentration of ownership raises concerns about the diversity of viewpoints and the ability of journalists to report freely without corporate influence.

HOLLYWOOD: FROM ANTI-COMMUNIST TO ELITE CONTROL

In the 1940s and 1950s, there was widespread concern in the United States that Hollywood was being infiltrated by communist sympathizers who were using films to subtly influence American culture. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) investigated and blacklisted suspected communists in the entertainment industry, fearing that Hollywood was promoting communist ideals.

Ironically, the very ideologies once feared now dominate Hollywood, but they have taken on a different form. Today, the major film studios—Warner Bros., Universal, Sony, and Disney—are controlled by the same corporate conglomerates that own the news media. Hollywood now often promotes progressive and globalist ideals, with a focus on multiculturalism, the dismantling of traditional family structures, and the erosion of national sovereignty.

This shift reflects a broader transformation in American culture, where the media and entertainment industries no longer focus on promoting American ideals and democracy. Instead, they often push a globalist agenda that seeks to homogenize culture, weaken national identity, and promote progressive social policies.

WHEN DID THE MEDIA START GETTING BOUGHT UP?

The consolidation of media ownership began in earnest in the late 20th century. In particular, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 played a significant role in allowing large corporations to buy up local media outlets. Signed into law by President Bill Clinton, the act relaxed ownership restrictions that had previously limited how many media outlets a single company could own.

The goal of the act was to encourage competition and foster innovation, but in practice, it had the opposite effect. Instead of promoting competition, the act led to a wave of mergers and acquisitions that consolidated media ownership into the hands of a few large corporations.

The federal government, which should have acted to prevent such monopolistic control, failed to step in. Many speculate that this failure is due to the deep financial ties between politicians and media conglomerates. Over time, the influence of these corporations has grown so large that they are now entrenched in both the media and political landscapes, making it nearly impossible to challenge their control.

WHY CONTROLLED MEDIA BENEFITS GLOBALIST AGENDAS

A controlled media is a powerful tool for globalists seeking to shape public opinion and control political narratives. By owning the majority of news outlets, globalist elites can push their agenda and ensure that dissenting opinions are marginalized or ignored entirely.

1. Historical Revisionism: Controlling the media allows elites to rewrite history in a way that suits their agenda. In many cases, this involves downplaying or omitting inconvenient facts while emphasizing narratives that promote globalist goals, such as the need for open borders and international governance.

2. Political Control: Media conglomerates often have direct ties to political elites, particularly those aligned with globalist objectives. By shaping how political events are reported, they can influence elections, promote specific candidates, and sway public opinion on key issues like immigration, healthcare, and national sovereignty.

3. Cultural Destruction: By controlling both the news and entertainment industries, globalists can push cultural narratives that align with their vision of a borderless, globalized world. Traditional values and national identities are often portrayed as outdated or even oppressive, while progressive, globalist ideals are promoted as the future.

THE STRUGGLE FOR JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY

Journalists are meant to be the watchdogs of democracy, tasked with holding the powerful accountable and uncovering the truth. However, the concentration of media ownership has compromised the independence of journalism. Reporters and editors are often discouraged from pursuing stories that may conflict with the interests of their corporate owners. As a result, investigative journalism has taken a backseat to profit-driven, narrative-focused reporting.

For journalists to serve their true purpose, they must reclaim their independence. They must prioritize facts, ask tough questions, and hold all sides accountable—regardless of political or corporate influence. Those who cannot report with integrity should reconsider their role in the profession, as their participation in biased reporting is harmful to the public and democracy as a whole.

WHY DEMOCRATS SHOULD RECONSIDER THEIR ROLE

Democrats have traditionally championed free speech and civil rights, but by aligning themselves with corporate-owned media, they risk undermining those very principles. The media’s role is not to prop up any political party but to serve the people by holding those in power accountable. Democrats, like all politicians, should work to ensure that journalism remains free, neutral, and investigative, rather than aligning themselves with a biased media that serves corporate interests.

CONCLUSION: DEMOCRACY AT STAKE

The consolidation of media ownership is not just a threat to journalism—it is a direct threat to democracy. When a few corporations control the majority of the media, the diversity of ideas and opinions necessary for a functioning democracy is lost. The media becomes a tool for manipulating public opinion rather than a force for accountability and truth.

Journalists must resist corporate control and recommit to their role as independent truth-seekers. Without a free and unbiased press, the public remains uninformed, and democracy cannot survive. Politicians and the public alike must demand a media landscape that values truth, integrity, and accountability over profit and political agendas. Only then can we protect the democratic values that are essential to the future of the United States.
