I don't believe a word of any of that...

HAHAHA! good one!

The media is controlled first and foremost with dollars... profit... filling the pockets of the Ted Turners and Rupert Murdoch's of this world.

and where does money come from? and what is 'money', anyway? see your first sentence.

So is there some grand puppet master pulling the strings of the big media news organizations?

yes.

Is there favortism giving by the administration to "friendly" news organizations?
You betcha...
But thats as far as such control goes...

it's actually the other way around. the owners of the media control the administrations (and the people).

that's the real reason it's called, 'the press'.

The shadow government controls everything - made up of the world's old money. They coordinate all efforts of media hating against presidents and they also put the presidents there to begin with. Its all a game of control. Anyways, who really knows? No one on this site is that high in the goverment (if they work for the gov) to know.----------------------------------------------------------------

Thats the short straight truth.

Who owns the media:

The media is owned by the elite, actually the owners are part of the elite-------> Elite own govt.-----> Govt. owns military------> Govt. owns how things are done-----> Govt. owns ability to create war=MONEY!!!-------> Govt.=Control---------> Control=Ability to keep people silenced----> it keeps on breaking down.

Through media you can control a nation, military means nothing when you break it down in the long run. Now I can say as can most of us, they control the media without question. They control what we see and hear, the last bastion of hope we have is what we are using right now but they are slowly attacking it, and thats how it starts, slowly, then it builds up, and soon you are in so deep you cant get out. Now sometimes they report things or someone reports something that belongs to their organization that is damaging to their image. Well thats part of the side show, you get people to think that there is still a level of freedom in the press and a tad of truth if you wait for it or dig hard enough and thus people wont fight back as hard because they dont realize how bad a situation they are in.

The only hope is for people to organize and figure out ways to get the message on TV.

If you are a liberal, then the media is controlled by the conservatives. If you are a conservative, then the media is obviously controlled by the liberals.

If you are inclined to believe in the Global Zionist Conspiracy then, of course, "the Jews" control the media (and Hollywood and all the banks).

If you are an atheist then the the Christians influence and control what we see and hear in the media and, on the other hand, Christians "know" that the media is controlled by the Godless forces of Satan.

....in reality, the media is controlled by the Almighty ...dollar, that is.

Media is controlled by the same thing that controlls everyone else, THE GOVERNMENT. We as citizens (no matter what country) are all in some way or form controlled by our government.

You might find this extremely relevant to everything you said:

This is not a one liner. Very interesting discussion!

the government controls the media. If not some type of men in black government controls it behind our backs. If a type of government didn't control it who would?
