4. News Corporation
Interesting history herein....
K. Rupert Murdoch is the CEO of News Corporation.
Originally an Australian company, News Corporation reincorporated in the United States in 2004 and moved its headquarters from Adelaide to New York
City. Murdoch gave up his Australian citizenship in 1985 to become a U.S. citizen. He did so to satisfy the legal requirement that only United States
citizens could own American television stations.
Murdoch built a media empire beginning with ownership of the
Adelaide News, which he inherited from his father. In 1964, Murdoch established
The Australian, Australia's first national daily newspaper. From there Murdoch began to acquire British and American media properties.
Company subsidiaries include
Fox Entertainment Group and the
Twentieth Century Fox movie studio. It has 34% stake in the
DIRECTV
Group. News Corporation also
owns over 30 American television stations, the
New York Post and
Boston Herald newspapers and a
number of Britain's largest circulation newspapers (
The Times, The Sun, The News of the World). The company has extensive operations across
Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America.
In July 2005, News Corporation bought
Intermix Media, Inc., owner of the social networking portal
MySpace.com and about 30 other web
sites, for $580 million. Along with the recently announced
formation of Fox Interactive Media, the Intermix acquisition underscores News
Corporation's commitment to expand its Internet presence.
In December 2007, the company acquired
Dow Jones & Company, publisher of
The Wall Street Journal and other business news and
information.

So... the top 4 of the top 20 list clearly show us how 'divergent' the media ownership really is. Considering the interrelationships
demonstrated by this meager 20% initial overview; is it any wonder the English speaking world is subject to media manipulation that seems
astoundingly efficient?
The efficiency is apparent only, when one realizes that a small group of well-connected board members can channel news and disseminate propaganda over
what is disguised as hundreds of "separate" venues of information; the magical and 'complex' nature of such manipulation fades entirely.
It appears to me that should I pursue this further and further... I will find the legendary 'Ultimate 8' who make all the media consumers
in the world actually believe that there are "too many people in the buisiness" to control all the media... but dare I say... such a revelation
will get little to no air-time. and will be dismissed as the maniacal ravings of a paranoid conspiracy kook.
in the interest of time, and reader-fatigue.. I leave you now.... to ponder the possibilities.
Until the next installment.
Be well.
