the entities that literally own the internet and cable tv in the US, Comcast, AT&T, Charter, Verizon, also literally own CNN. MSNBC, NBC, CNBC, TBS, TNT, HBO, Dream Works Animation, Universal and Warner Brothers Studios, Yahoo, AOL, while Fox News, Fox Radio, CBS Broadcasting, The Wall Street Journal, Times Ledger newspapers, Barrons, New York Post, Disney/ABC/ESPN, Viacom, The CW, Big 10 Network, SEC Network, Sinclair/Tribune Broadcasting, Gannett Newspapers, all have either "the" major share, or "a" major share, of their revenues directly tied to the revenues of Comcast, AT&T, Charter, and Verizon..
in short, the revenues of virtually your entire media, major news outlets, a huge percent of newspapers, most of Hollywood, is either directly tied to how much you pay for cable tv and the internet, or literally owned by the entities that literally own the internet and cable tv.
meanwhile, the entities that own the internet and cable tv have their revenues very much tied to the FCC and FTC as well as congress and the senate. (and they basically own both the FCC and FTC when the GOP is in control, and not that much less with the Dems any more).
meanwhile, with the exception of a Trump type character who brings his fame with him, not many congressmen or senators or even prez candidates want MSNBC, NBC, Fox, Fox News, Fox Radio, Disney/ABC/ESPN, Gannett Newspapers, Sinclair/Tribune Media, The Wall Street Journal and NY Post, against them.
so keep playing GOP vs Dems all you want guys, that's what they want you concentrating on.
meanwhile the entities that literally own the internet, (thus have the power to control all future commerce and social media on it absent regulation/legislation reigning them in) and own cable tv, also literally own or control virtually all the major media outlets and the film industry.
MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, are all on the same team, all want most of the same things on economic policy, and want literally all the same things on telecom policy. (they'll let the little people fight it out on social issues though).. you guys and the country just haven't realized it yet.
try to see the real problem here people, as things are getting more concentrated all the time.
or course, you'll never hear of any of this in the media. wonder why?
