These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America

Those guys will probably have a lot to say about who becomes the next president.

They probably want to consolidate internet control because then it will make it even harder to win an election honestly. If a journalist wants their job maybe they don't rock the boat. I don't know that for sure but I worry.

Look at how Bernie was frozen out of the mainstream media. He got like 20 minutes in 2015 while Trump got hundreds of minutes - something crazy like that. I've never seen anything like that in my life.

Look at how the DNC and now the Iowa Dem party were in the tank for Hillary. It's corrupt, outrageous, the media knows it and doesn't do much.

The media, the great arbiter for democracy, is already owned and controlled by the 1%
