Sure they would.
News Corp's Chairman, CEO, founder, major shareholder, and managing
director is Rupert Murdoch, who is Scots-Irish and not Jewish.
Paramount Pictures Corp is owned by Viacom. Through their owership of
National Amusements, Sumner M. Redstone and his family are majority
shareholders of CBS Corporation, Viacom, MTV Networks, BET, Paramount
and DreamWorks. Sumner Redstone is a former lawyer and formerly named
Sumner Murray Rothstein.
Disney' chief exec is Robert A. "Bob" Iger, but the chairman is
John E. Pepper Jr., Roy Disney is director emeritus, Steve Jobs is the
major shareholder, and Anne Sweeney is president and co-chair.
Sony Corporation's chairman, CEO and president is Sir Howard Stringer,
a Welshman and US citizen since 1985; Ryoji Chubachi is vice chairman,
and Nobuyuki Oneda is executive vice president and CFO.
Warner Bros is a subsidary of Time-Warner, Inc. Time-Warner's Chariman
and CEO is Jeffrey L. Bewkes, its senior execs are Edward I. Adler,
Paul T. Cappuccio, Patricia Fili-Krushel, John K. Martin, Carol A.
Melton, and Olaf Olafsson
CBS Corp's major shareholders, through National Amusements, are Sumner
Redstone and his family, who are also majority owners of CBS
Corporation, Viacom, and MTV Networks, BET, Paramount Pictures and
DreamWorks.
MGM is owned by Providence Equity Partners (Jonathan M. Nelson, CEO;
Raymond M. Mathieu, CFO); TPG Capital, L.P ( a private equity
investment firm founded by David Bonderman, James Coulter and William
S. Price III); Sony Corporation (see above); Comcast (Brian L.
Roberts, Chairman and CEO); and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, an
affiliate of Credit Suisse (Brady Dougan, CEO).
NBC Universal is owned by General Electric and the French
international media conglomerate Vivendi SA.
And Leslie Moonves may be the great-nephew of the wife of Israel's
first prime minister -- or not, as the case may be.

Considering the drek Hollywood churns out, I wouldn't want to wave my

What number of producers, decision makers and such are Jewish?
Agents? Actors and directors? While the owners may be all over the
place, it is the folks who run the company who have the real power.
Remember who used to run Disney/ABC?

Who Controls the American Media?
Brian Harrinig
TBRNews.org
For decades, it has been rumored and discussed, often on anti-Semitic
websites and in revisionist journals, that "the Jews own all the media in
America ." As the Internet is filled with all manner of rumors, some true
but mostly invented fiction, it might be instructive to examine this
question in a balanced way.
This is an important issue for most Americans, because they are influenced
by the media to a tremendous degree and if a special interest group, or
groups, had control over the news they read or watched, depending on the
agendas of these groups, the effect of a controlled media could have serious
consequences for the public weal.
There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the
manipulators of public opinion in America . No king or pope of old, no
conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely
approaching that of the few dozen men who control America 's mass media of
news and entertainment.
Their power is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into every home in
America , and it works its will during nearly every waking hour. It is the
power that shapes and molds the mind of virtually every citizen, young or
old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated.
The mass media form for us our image of the world and then tell us what to
think about that image. Essentially everything we know -- or think we
know -- about events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances
comes to us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or
our television.
It is not just the heavy-handed suppression of certain news stories from our
newspapers or the blatant propagandizing of history-distorting TV
"docudramas" that characterizes the opinion-manipulating techniques of the
media masters. They exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in their
management of the news and the entertainment that they present to us.
For example, the way in which the news is covered: which items are
emphasized and which are played down; the reporter's choice of words, tone
of voice, and facial expressions; the wording of headlines; the choice of
illustrations -- all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly affect
the way in which we interpret what we see or hear.
On top of this, of course, the columnists and editors remove any remaining
doubt from our minds as to just what we are to think about it all. Employing
carefully developed psychological techniques, they guide our thought and
opinion so that we can be in tune with the "in" crowd, the "beautiful
people," the "smart money." They let us know exactly what our attitudes
should be toward various types of people and behavior by placing those
people or that behavior in the context of a TV drama or situation comedy and
having the other TV characters react in a manner which has been called
'politically correct.'
Molding American Minds
The average American whose daily life TV-watching takes such an unhealthy
portion, distinguishes between deliberately invented, fictional situations
and reality only with difficulty, if at all. They respond to the televised
actions, statements, and attitudes of TV actors much as they do to their own
peers in real life. For all too many Americans, the real world has been
replaced by the false reality of the TV environment, and it is to this false
reality that his urge to conform responds. Thus, when a TV scriptwriter
expresses approval of some ideas and actions through the TV characters for
whom he is writing, and disapproval of others, he exerts a powerful pressure
on millions of viewers toward conformity with his own views.
And as it is with TV entertainment, so also is it with the daily national
and international news, whether televised or printed. The insidious thing
about this form of what can be rightfully be considered as 'thought control'
is that even when we realize that entertainment or news is biased, the media
producers still are able to manipulate the great bulk of their viewers or
readers.
As an example, consider the media treatment of Middle East news. Some
editors or commentators are slavishly pro-Israel in their every utterance,
while others seem nearly neutral. No columnist or news-reader, however,
would ever dare to suggest that the U.S. government might be backing the
wrong side in the Arab-Israeli conflict and that it served Israeli
interests, rather than American interests, to send U.S. forces to cripple
Iraq , Israel 's principal rival in the Middle East . And no commentator in
the print or television media would ever mention the excellent advice of
George Washington that America should practice strict neutrality in foreign
political issues, supporting neither side but selling to both. Thus, a
spectrum of permissible opinion, from pro-Israel to nearly neutral, has been
firmly established.
Because there are differences in degree, however, most Americans fail to
realize that they are being manipulated. Even the citizen who complains
about "managed news" falls into the trap of thinking that because he is
presented with an apparent spectrum of opinion he can escape the thought
controllers' influence by believing the editor or commentator of his choice.
It's a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation. Every point on the
permissible spectrum of public opinion is acceptable to the media masters --
and no impermissible fact or viewpoint is allowed any exposure at all, if
they can prevent it.
The control of the opinion-molding media is nearly monolithic. All of the
controlled media -- television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, motion
pictures -- speak with a single voice, each reinforcing the other. Despite
the appearance of variety, there is no real dissent, no alternative source
of facts or ideas accessible to the great mass of people that might allow
them to form opinions at odds with those of the media masters. They are
presented with a single view of the world -- a world in which every voice
proclaims the equality of the races, the grave, and completely truthful,
nature and history of the Jewish "Holocaust" theme. It is a view of the
world designed by the media masters to suit their own ends -- and the
pressure to conform to that view is overwhelming. People adapt their
opinions to it, vote in accord with it, and shape their lives to fit it.
And who are these all-powerful masters of the media? As we shall see, to a
very large extent they are Jewish. It isn't simply a matter of the media
being controlled by profit-hungry capitalists, some of whom happen to be
Jews. If that were the case, the ethnicity of the media masters would
reflect, at least approximately, the ratio of rich gentiles to rich Jews.
Despite a few prominent exceptions, the preponderance of Jews in the media
is so overwhelming that we are obliged to assume that it is due to more than
mere happenstance.
Electronic News & Entertainment Media
Continuing government deregulation of the telecommunications industry has
resulted, not in the touted increased competition, but rather in an
accelerating wave of corporate mergers and acquisitions that have produced a
handful of multi-billion-dollar media conglomerates. The largest of these
conglomerates are rapidly growing even bigger by consuming their
competition, almost tripling in size during the 1990s. Whenever you watch
television, whether from a local broadcasting station or via cable or a
satellite dish; whenever you see a feature film in a theater or at home;
whenever you listen to the radio or to recorded music; whenever you read a
newspaper, book, or magazine -- it is very likely that the information or
entertainment you receive was produced and/or distributed by one of these
megamedia companies.
AOL-TW. This entity has been the nation's largest media conglomerate .-Time
Warner, created when America Online bought Time Warner for $160 billion in
2000.. A brief history of the company is in order.
The four non-Jewish Warner brothers founded their movie company in 1907 and
had their first major success ten years later with My 4 Years in Germany .
WB incorporated in 1923 and went on to cartoon success with Porky Pig and
Bugs Bunny. In 1944, a court ruled that WB must release Olivia de Havilland
after her seven-year contract. This decision prevented any one company from
controlling a pool of creative talent, but it did nothing to stop others
from controlling the entire industry with which that talent was obliged to
work. In 1948, WB sold its film library to MGM. In 1949, another court
ruling forced WB to sell its cinema chain, obstructing vertical integration
by a single movie-making company.
In 1958, WB created Warner Brothers Records, which was later renamed WEA. In
1968, Jack Warner sold his shares to Seven Arts, while DC and All-American
Comics were bought by Kinney National Services (a funeral parlor
conglomerate). Kinney turned around and bought a talent agency, then turned
around again and bought Warner-Seven Arts, becoming Warner Communications.
Warner Communications bought Elektra Records in 1970, the same year that
David Geffen started the Asylum label. Time bought HBO from Charles Dolan in
1972. Ironically, 1972 was also the year when Money magazine began
publication, while the (original) magazine Life ceased.
Ted Turner entered the major media scene in 1976 when his TV station WTCG
( Atlanta ) was carried on US cable networks. In 1979, Turner Communications
Group became Turner Broadcasting System, and WTCG was renamed WTBS. The
following year, CNN became the world's first 24-hour all-news cable network.
Turner tried to buy CBS in 1985, but he was blocked when Lawrence Tisch, a
Jew, bought 25% of shares. Instead, Turner bought MGM's film library (1986).
TBS merged with Castle Rock and New Line Cinema in 1994. In 1996, Turner
made a career-destroying faux pas by selling TBS to Time Warner. AOL bought
Time Warner in 2000.
In 2001, Gerald Levin, who had been Chairman of Time Warner and then CEO of
the merged AOL-TW, fired Ted Turner from his position during a telephone
conversation. Control of TBS temporarily shifted to Robert Pittman), but was
given shortly afterward to Walter Isaacson who was recruited from his former
position at Time Inc., to take over the company that Ted Turner built. It
seems reasonably certain that Ted Turner would not have sold TBS to Time
Warner if he'd known that Levin was going to fire him only five years later.
Levin smooth-talked Turner, and Turner paid the price for that mistake.
But Levin wasn't finished with his dagger. Having backstabbed Turner, he did
likewise to his other useful dupe, Robert Pittman. Pittman had been Levin's
champion for the AOL-TW merger on the AOL side.. Richard Parsons has been
AOL-TW's CEO since May 2002.
Before the merger, AOL was the largest Internet service provider in America
, and it is now being used as an online platform for heavily-slanted
pro-Israeli propaganda from Time Warner. Time Warner, with 1997 revenues of
more than $13 billion, was the second largest of the international media
leviathans when it was bought by AOL.
Time Warner's subsidiary HBO is the country's largest pay-TV cable network.
Until the purchase in May 1998 of PolyGram by Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Warner
Music was America 's largest record company, with 50 labels, the biggest of
which is Warner Brothers Records (WEA). Warner Music was an early promoter
of "gangsta rap."
AOL-TW's publishing ventures include Time-Life International Books,
Time-Life Education, Time-Life Music, Time-Life AudioBooks,
Book-of-the-Month Club (both adult and children's branches), Paperback Book
Club, History Book Club, Money Book Club, HomeStyle Books, Crafter's Choice,
One Spirit, Little Brown, Bulfinch Press, Back Bay Books, Warner Books,
Warner Vision, The Mysterious Press, Warner Aspect, Warner Treasures, Oxmoor
House, Leisure Arts, Sunset Books and TW Kids.
AOL-TW owns the following cable and satellite companies, among others:
Cinemax, Time Warner Sports, HBO (7 US and 6 international divisions), CNN
(10 divisions worldwide), Time Warner Cable, Road Runner, Time Warner
Communications (primarily a telephone service), New York City Cable Group,
New York 1 (a sort of CNN devoted exclusively to news in the NYC area), Time
Warner Home Theater, Time Warner Security (video monitoring), Court-TV
(ownership shared with Liberty Media), Comedy Central (ownership shared with
Viacom) and Kablevision (Hungary).
AOL-TW owns the following TV and movie companies: Warner Brothers, WB

Entertainment, Warner Home Video, WB Domestic Pay-TV, WB Domestic TV
Distribution, WB International TV Distribution, The Warner Channel (separate
companies for Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Australia, and Germany), and WB

The editor-in-chief of Time Warner's publishing division is Norman
Pearlstine,. AOL-TW owns the following magazines: Time, Time Asia, Time
Atlantic, Time Canada, Time Latin America, Time South Pacific, Time Money,
Time For Kids, Fortune, Life (the watered-down new version), ustrated (plus

Disney. The second-largest media conglomerate today, with 1997 revenues of
$23 billion, is the Walt Disney Company. Its chairman and CEO, until his
removal by the board of directors, was Michael Eisner,. The Disney empire,
headed by a man described by one media analyst as "a control freak,"
includes several television production companies (Walt Disney Television,
Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television) and cable networks with more
than 100 million subscribers altogether. The TV stations under Disney
control include: WLS (Chicago), WJRT (Flint), KFSN (Fresno), KTRK (Houston),
KABC (Los Angeles), WABC (New York City), WPVI (Philadelphia), WTVD
(Raleigh), KGO (San Francisco) and WTVG (Toledo).
Disney also has a major presence in radio, owning WKHX, WYAY and WDWD in
Atlanta; WMVP, WLS, and WXCD in Chicago; WBAP and KSCS in Dallas; WDRQ, WJR
and WPLT in Detroit; KLOS and KTZN in Los Angeles; KQRS, KXXR, KDIZ, KZNR,
and KZNT in St. Paul; WPLJ in New York City; KSFO in San Francisco; WMAL,
WJZW, and WRQX in Washington; and ESPN Radio.
As for feature films, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, under Walt
Disney Studios, headed by Joseph E. Roth , includes Walt Disney Pictures,
Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures. Roth founded
Caravan Pictures in January 1993, and it is now headed by Roger Birnbaum.
Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers, Bob and
Harvey, who have produced such ultra-raunchy movies as The Crying Game,
Priest, and Kids.
When the Disney Company was run by the gentile Disney family, prior to its
takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomized wholesome, family entertainment.
While it still holds the rights to Snow White, the company under Eisner
expanded into the production of a great deal of so-called "adult" material.
In August 1995, Eisner acquired Capital Cities/ABC, Inc., which owns the ABC
Television Network, which in turn owns ten TV stations outright in such big
markets as New York , Chicago , Philadelphia , Los Angeles , San Francisco ,
and Houston . In addition, it has 225 affiliated stations in the United
States and is part owner of several European TV companies.
ABC's cable subsidiary, ESPN, is headed by president and CEO Steven
Bornstein, who is a Jew. The corporation also has a controlling share of
Lifetime Television and A & E Television Networks cable companies, with 67
million subscribers each. ABC Radio Network owns 26 AM and FM stations,
again in major cities such as New York , Washington , and Los Angeles , and
has over 3,400 affiliates.
Although primarily a telecommunications company, Capital Cities/ABC earned
over $1 billion in publishing in 1997. Besides these publishing concerns,
Disney owns Walt Disney Company Book Publishing, Hyperion Books, and Miramax
Books. It also owns six daily newspapers, including the Albany Democrat and
the St. Louis Daily Record.
Disney's magazine titles include Automotive Industries, Biography (partial
ownership), Discover, Disney Adventures, Disney Magazine, ECN News, ESPN
Magazine, Family Fun, Family PC, Institutional Investor, Jane, JCK, Kentucky
Prairie Farmer, Kodin, Los Angeles, Multichannel News, Penny Power, Talk,
Top Famille (France), Video Business, and Quality.
Disney operates 660 retail stores worldwide, and, incidentally, it is also
invested in crude oil and natural gas exploitation.
On the Internet, Disney runs Buena Vista Internet Group, ABC Internet Group,
ABC.com, ABCNEWS.com, Oscar.com, Mr. Showbiz, Disney Online, Disney's Daily
Blast, Disney.com, Family.com, ESPN Internet Group, ESPN.sportzone.com,
Soccernet.com, NFL.com, NBA.com, Infoseek (partial ownership), and Disney
Interactive.
Viacom. Number three on the list, with 1997 revenues of just over $13
billion, is Viacom, Inc., headed by Sumner Redstone (born Murray
Rothstein).. Viacom was formed in 1971 as a way to dodge an anti-monopoly
FCC ruling that required CBS to spin off a part of its cable TV operations
and syndicated programming business. This move by the government
unfortunately did nothing to reduce the mostly Jewish collaborative monopoly
that remains the major problem with the industry. In 1999, after CBS had
again augmented itself by buying King World Productions (a leading TV
program syndicator), Viacom acquired its progenitor company, CBS, in a
double mockery of the spirit of the 1971 ruling.
Viacom produces and distributes TV programs for the three largest networks,
owns 13 television stations and 12 radio stations. It produces feature films
through Paramount Pictures, headed by Jewess Sherry Lansing. Redstone
acquired CBS following the December 1999 stockholders' votes at CBS and
Viacom.
Working for Redstone as CBS's chief executive has been Melvin A. Karmazin.
He has been the boss and biggest individual shareholder of the company that
owns the CBS Television Network, 14 major-market TV stations, 160 radio
stations, the Country Music Television and the Nashville Network cable
channels, and a large number of outdoor advertising assets.
Viacom's publishing division includes Simon & Schuster, Scribner, The Free
Press, Fireside, Archway Paperbacks and Minstrel Books, Anne Schwartz Books,
MTV Books, Nickelodeon Books, Pocket Books, and Washington Square Press. It
distributes videos through over 4,000 Blockbuster stores (including the
Video Flicks chain in Australia ). It is also involved in satellite
broadcasting, theme parks, and video games.
Viacom's chief claim to fame, however, is as the world's largest provider of
cable programming, through its Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, and other
networks. Since 1989 MTV and Nickelodeon have acquired larger and larger
shares of the juvenile television audience. The first quarter of 2001 was
the 16th consecutive quarter in which MTV was rated as the #1 cable network
for viewers between the ages of 12 and 24. Redstone, who actually owns 76
per cent of the shares of Viacom, has offered Beavis and Butthead as teen
role models. MTV Networks acquired The Music Factory (TMF) from the Dutch
media and marketing group Wegener in 2001. TMF distributes music to almost
10 million homes in Holland and Belgium . MTV has been expanding its
presence in Europe through new channels, including MTV Dance ( Britain ) and
MTV Live ( Scandinavia ). MTV Italy is active through Cecchi Gori
Communications. MTV pumps its rock and rap videos into 210 million homes in
71 countries.
Nickelodeon, with about 65 million subscribers, has by far the largest share
of the four-to-11-year-old TV audience in America and also is expanding
rapidly into Europe . Most of its shows do not yet display the blatant
degeneracy that is MTV's trademark, but Redstone is gradually nudging the
fare presented to his kiddie viewers toward the same poison purveyed by MTV.
As of early 2001, Nickelodeon was continuing a nine-year streak as the top
cable network for children and younger teenagers.
Viacom operates two major motion picture enterprises jointly with Vivendi
Universal (detailed hereafter): United Cinemas International (UCI) and
United International Pictures (UIP).
Vivendi Universal. Another Jewish media mogul is Edgar Bronfman, Jr. He
headed Seagram Company, Ltd., the liquor giant, until its recent merger with
Vivendi. His father, Edgar Bronfman, Sr., is president of the World Jewish
Congress. Seagram owned Universal Studios and Interscope Records, the
foremost promoter of "gangsta rap." These companies now belong to Vivendi
Universal.
Bronfman became the biggest man in the record business in May 1998 when he
also acquired control of PolyGram, the European record giant, by paying
$10.6 billion to the Dutch electronics manufacturer Philips. With the
revenue from PolyGram added to that from MCA and Universal, Bronfman became
master of the fourth largest media empire, with annual revenues around $12
billion. One especially unfortunate aspect of the PolyGram acquisition was
that it gave Bronfman control of the world's largest producer of classical
music CDs: PolyGram owns the Deutsche Grammophon, Decca-London, and Philips
record companies.
In June 2000, the Bronfman family sold Seagram to Vivendi, a French
utilities company formerly led by gentile Jean-Marie Messier. The combined
company, Vivendi Universal, retains Edgar Bronfman, Jr., as the vice
chairman of the new company, and he will continue to be in charge of its
entertainment division. As with the AOL-TW merger, the strategy seemed to be
infect and wait. The debt Vivendi incurred by buying Universal was used to
scandalize Messier, who had to resign. Jean-René Fourtou became the
Chairman/CEO of Vivendi on 3 July 2002 . Subsequently, to pay off its debts,
Vivendi-Universal began selling assets, beginning with Seagam's alcohol
business, but later selling some of its media holdings, including its
Houghlin-Mifflin publishing company (educational textbooks), which had been
acquired in June 2001, to a consortium formed by Thomas H. Lee Partners,
Blackstone Group, Bain Capital and Apax Partners.
With two of the top four media conglomerates in the hands of Jews (Disney
and Viacom), and with Jews filling a large proportion of the executive jobs
in the remaining two, it is difficult to believe that such an overwhelming
degree of control came about without a deliberate, concerted effort on their
part.
What about the other big media companies?
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which owns Fox Television Network, 20th
Century Fox Films, and Fox 2000, is the fifth largest megamedia corporation
in the country, with 1997 revenues of over $11 billion. It is the only other
media company which comes even close to the top four., Press lord Rupert
Murdoch was born in Melbourne , Australia , on March 11, 1931 . His
grandfather was a Protestant minister who immigrated to Australia from
Britain. Rupert's father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and
his mother an Orthodox Jew, although Murdoch never offers that information
in his biographies. but Peter Chernin, who is president and CEO of Fox
Group, which includes all of News Corporation's film, television, and
publishing operations in the United States , is Jewish. He is generally
considered to be one of the most powerful media executives in the world,
Chernin has been credited in particular with the success of Fox's cable
operations. Prior to joining Fox, Chernin was president and COO of Lorimar
Film Entertainment. His other executive roles include positions at
Showtime/The Movie Channel, Warner Books and St. Martin's Press. Chernin is
also a Corporate Diector for American Express .
Under Chernin, as president of 20th Century Fox, is Laura Ziskin, a Jewess
who formerly headed Fox 2000. Peter Roth works under Chernin as president of
Fox Entertainment. News Corporation also owns the New York Post and TV
Guide, and they have been published under Chernin's supervision. Murdoch
told Newsweek magazine (July 12, 1999) that he had the intention to elevate
Chernin to CEO of News Corporation, rather than allow the company to fall
into the hands of his own children,.. Murdoch, in his 70s, married a Chinese
woman many years his junior and produced several children by her. His
attempts to elevate his wife and their children to positions of power, and
inheritance, have caused understandable frictions with his first family.
In 2008, Murdoch's News Corporation took over control of the Wall Street
Journal, America 's premier financial newspaper and immediately began
interfering with its reportorial policies to bring them more in line with
his personal political views.
Most of the television and movie production companies that are not owned by
the largest corporations are also controlled by Jews. For example, New World
Entertainment, proclaimed by one media analyst as "the premier independent
TV program producer in the United States ," is owned by Ronald Perelman, a
Jew who also owns Revlon cosmetics and who offered a job to Monica Lewinsky
when Bill Clinton was trying to keep her quiet.
The best known of the smaller media companies, DreamWorks SKG,has a heavy
Jewish influence. DreamWorks was formed in 1994 amid great media hype by
recording industry mogul David Geffen, former Disney Pictures chairman
Jeffrey Katzenberg, and film director Steven Spielberg. The company produces
movies, animated films, television programs, and recorded music. Considering
the cash and connections that Geffen, Katzenberg, and Spielberg have,
DreamWorks may soon be in the same league as the big four.
It is well known that Jews have controlled most of the production and
distribution of films since shortly after the inception of the movie
industry in the early decades of the 20th century. When Walt Disney died in
1966, the last barrier to the total Jewish domination of Hollywood was gone,
and Jews were able to grab ownership of the company that Walt built. Since
then they have had everything their way in the movie industry.
Films produced by just the four largest motion picture companies mentioned
above -- Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount (Viacom), and Universal
(Seagram) -- accounted for two-thirds of the total box-office receipts for
the year 1997.
The big three in television network broadcasting used to be ABC, CBS, and
NBC. With the consolidation of the media empires, these three are no longer
independent entities. While they were independent, however, each was
controlled by strong Jewish influences since its inception: ABC by Leonard
Goldenson; NBC first by David Sarnoff and then by his son Robert; and CBS
first by William Paley and then by Laurence Tisch. Over periods of several
decades these networks were staffed from top to bottom with Jews, and the
essential Jewish control of network television did not change when the
networks were absorbed by other corporations. The Jewish presence in
television news remains particularly strong.
NBC provides a good example of this. The executives at NBC recently were
shuffled among the key positions. Andrew Lack, who had been chief of the
network's news division, ascended to become its president and chief
operations officer. Neal Shapiro, who had been producing Dateline NBC, moved
into Lack's old job. Jeff Zucker, who had been producing the Today show, was
promoted to NBC entertainment president (a job that apparently was created
for him), and Jonathan Wald moved into Zucker's old spot after shoving aside
Michael Bass, who had been filling in for Zucker with Today. Some time ago,
Wald became the producer of the NBC Nightly News, taking the position from
Jeff Gralnick. When Wald moved to Today, Steve Capus took over as Tom
Brokaw's producer
A similar preponderance of Jews exists in the news divisions of the other
networks. For example, in February 2000, Al Ortiz moved to head the "Special
Events" coverage at CBS, making Jim Murphy the executive producer of The CBS
Evening News with Dan Rather --. The CBS Early Show, which replaced CBS This
Morning, had an internal shakeup in which three producers were fired,
ostensibly for not being "aggressive" enough.. The shakeup did not, however,
affect the outgoing executive producer Al Berman, who transferred to a new
job as a program developer, and Steve Friedman has become the executive
producer of the Early Show.
Paul Friedman was the executive producer of ABC World News Tonight with
Peter Jennings. Rick Kaplan, once an executive at ABC, moved to CNN in 1997,
where he became the president of CNN/USA.
The Print Media
After television news, daily newspapers are the most influential information
medium in America . Sixty million of them are sold (and presumably read)
each day. These millions are divided among some 1483 different publications
as of 2005 One might conclude that the sheer number of different newspapers
across America would provide a safeguard against minority control and
distortion. Alas, such is not the case. There is less independence, less
competition, and much less representation of majority interests than a
casual observer would think.
In 1945, four out of five American newspapers were independently owned and
published by local people with close ties to their communities. Those days,
however, are gone. Most of the independent newspapers were bought out or
driven out of business by the mid-1970s. Today most "local" newspapers are
owned by a rather small number of large companies controlled by executives
who live and work hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Today less than
20 percent of the country's 1483 papers are independently owned; the rest
belong to multi-newspaper chains. Only 104 of the total number have
circulations of more than 100,000. Only a handful are large enough to
maintain independent reporting staffs outside their own communities; the
rest must depend on these few for all of their national and international
news.
The Associated Press, which sells content to newspapers, is currently under
the control of its Jewish managing editor, Michael Silverman, who directs
the day-to-day news reporting and supervises the editorial departments.
Silverman had directed the AP's national news as assistant managing editor
since 1992. He was promoted to his current job in 2000. Silverman reports to
Jonathan Wolman, also a Jew, who is executive editor for the AP.
In only 47 cities in America are there more than one daily newspaper, and
competition is frequently nominal even among them, as between morning and
afternoon editions under the same ownership. Examples of this are the
Mobile, Alabama, morning Register and afternoon Press-Register; and the
Syracuse, New York, morning Post-Standard and afternoon Herald-Journal --
all owned by the Newhouse brothers through their holding company, Advance
Publications.
The Newhouse media empire provides an example of more than the lack of real
competition among America 's daily newspapers: it also illustrates the
insatiable appetite Jews have shown for all the organs of opinion control on
which they could fasten their grip. The Newhouses own 30 daily newspapers,
including several large and important ones, such as the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, the Newark Star-Ledger, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune; Newhouse
Broadcasting, consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations and 87
cable-TV systems, including some of the country's largest cable networks;
the Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than 22 million
copies per week; some two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker,
Vogue, Mademoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Bride's, Gentlemen's Quarterly,
Self, House & Garden, and all the other magazines of the wholly owned Conde
Nast group.
This Jewish media empire was founded by the late Samuel Newhouse, an
immigrant from Russia . When he died in 1979 at the age of 84, he bequeathed
media holdings worth an estimated $1.3 billion to his two sons, Samuel and
Donald. With a number of further acquisitions, the net worth of Advance
Publications has grown to more than $8 billion today.
The gobbling up of so many newspapers by the Newhouse family was in large
degree made possible by the fact that newspapers are not supported by their
subscribers, but by their advertisers. It is advertising revenue -- not the
small change collected from a newspaper's readers -- that largely pays the
editor's salary and yields the owner's profit.
Whenever the large advertisers in a city choose to favor one newspaper over
another with their business, the favored newspaper will flourish while its
competitor dies. Since the beginning of the last century, when Jewish
mercantile power in America became a dominant economic force, there has been
a steady rise in the number of American newspapers in Jewish hands,
accompanied by a steady decline in the number of competing gentile
newspapers -- primarily as a result of selective advertising policies by
Jewish merchants.
Furthermore, even those newspapers still under gentile ownership and
management are so thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising revenue that
their editorial and news reporting policies are largely constrained by
Jewish likes and dislikes and are, as always, very firm and often vocal
supporters of Israel and its perceived needs.. It holds true in the
newspaper business as elsewhere that he who pays the piper calls the tune.
Three Jewish Newspapers
The suppression of competition and the establishment of local monopolies on
the dissemination of news and opinion have characterized the rise of Jewish
control over America 's newspapers. The resulting ability of the Jews to use
the press as an unopposed instrument of Jewish policy could hardly be better
illustrated than by the examples of the nation's three most prestigious and
influential newspapers: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the
Washington Post. These three, dominating America 's financial and political
capitals, are the newspapers that set the trends and the guidelines for
nearly all the others. They are the ones that decide what is news and what
isn't, at the national and international levels. They originate the news;
the others merely copy it. And all three newspapers are in Jewish hands.
The New York Times, with a September 1999 circulation of 1,086,000, is the
unofficial social, fashion, entertainment, political, and cultural guide of
the nation. It tells America 's "smart set" which books to buy and which
films to see; which opinions are in style at the moment; which politicians,
educators, spiritual leaders, artists, and businessmen are the real comers.
And for a few decades in the 19th century it was a genuinely American
newspaper.
The New York Times was founded in 1851 by two gentiles, Henry J. Raymond and
George Jones. After their deaths, it was purchased in 1896 from Jones's
estate by a wealthy Jewish publisher, Adolph Ochs. His great-great-grandson,
Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., is the paper's current publisher and the chairman of
the New York Times Co.
The Sulzberger family also owns, through the New York Times Co., 33 other
newspapers, including the Boston Globe, purchased in June 1993 for $1.1
billion; twelve magazines, including McCall's and Family Circle with
circulations of more than 5 million each; seven radio and TV broadcasting
stations; a cable-TV system; and three book publishing companies. The New
York Times News Service transmits news stories, features, and photographs
from the New York Times by wire to 506 other newspapers, news agencies, and
magazines.
Of similar national importance is the Washington Post, which, by
establishing its "leaks" throughout government agencies in Washington , has
an inside track on news involving the Federal government.
The Washington Post, like the New York Times, had a non-Jewish origin. It
was established in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins, purchased from him in 1905 by
John R. McLean, and later inherited by Edward B. McLean. In June 1933,
however, at the height of the Great Depression, the newspaper was forced
into bankruptcy. It was purchased at a bankruptcy auction by Eugene Meyer, a
Jewish financier and former partner of the infamous Bernard Baruch, industry
czar in America during the First World War. The Washington Post was run by
Katherine Meyer Graham, Eugene Meyer's daughter, until her death in 2001.
She was the principal stockholder and the board chairman of the Washington
Post Co. and appointed her son, Donald Graham, publisher of the paper in
1979. Donald became Washington Post Company CEO in 1991 and its board
chairman in 1993, and the chain of Jewish control at the Washington Post
remains unbroken. The newspaper has had a daily circulation of 763,000, and
its Sunday edition has sold up to 1.1 million copies.
The Washington Post Co. has a number of other media holdings in newspapers
(the Gazette Newspapers, including 11 military publications); in television
(WDIV in Detroit, KPRC in Houston, WPLG in Miami, WKMG in Orlando, KSAT in
San Antonio, WJXT in Jacksonville); and in magazines, most notably the
nation's number-two weekly newsmagazine, Newsweek. The Washington Post
Company's various television ventures reach a total of about 7 million
homes, and its cable TV service, Cable One, has 635,000 subscribers.
In a joint venture with the New York Times, the Post publishes the
International Herald Tribune, the most widely distributed English-language
daily in the world.
The Wall Street Journal, which once sold .8 million copies each weekday, is
the nation's largest-circulation daily newspaper. It was owned by Dow Jones
& Company, Inc., a New York corporation that also published 24 other daily
newspapers and the weekly financial tabloid Barron's.. The chairman and CEO
of Dow Jones is Peter R. Kann, who is a Jew. Kann also holds the posts of
chairman and publisher of the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal
was recently bought by Rupert Murdoch and predictably, is beginning its long
slide into tabloid journalism.
Most of New York 's other major newspapers are in no better hands than the
New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. In January 1993 the New York
Daily News was bought from the estate of the late Jewish media mogul Robert
Maxwell who was born Ján Ludvík Hoch in the small town of Slatinské Doly,
Carpathian Ruthenia, the easternmost province of pre-World War II
Czechoslovakia into a poor Jewish family. Maxwell's business empire was
built on debt and deception. He had "borrowed" millions of pounds from his
companies' pension funds to prop up the financial position of his group of
companies. On November 5, 1991, at the age of 68, Maxwell is presumed to
have 'fallen overboard' from his luxury yacht, Lady Ghislaine, which was
cruising off the Canary Islands, and his body was subsequently found
floating in the Atlantic Ocean. He was buried on the Mount of Olives in
Jerusalem. Another Daily News owner is Jewish real-estate developer Mortimer
B. Zuckerman. The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern,
the billionaire Jewish owner of the Hartz Mountain pet supply firm. And, as
mentioned above, the New York Post is owned by News Corporation.
News Magazines
The story is pretty much the same for other media as it is for television,
radio, films, music, and newspapers. Consider, for example, newsmagazines.
There are only three of any importance published in the United States :
Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report.
Time, which once had a weekly circulation of 4.1 million, is published by a
subsidiary of Time Warner Communications, the new media conglomerate formed
by the 1989 merger of Time, Inc., with Warner Communications. Although
Gerald Levin has retired, Time Warner Communications is still essentially
Jewish in character.
Newsweek, as mentioned above, is published by the Washington Post Company,
under Donald Graham. Its weekly circulation has been as high as 3.1 million.
U.S. News & World Report, that once has a weekly circulation of 2.2 million,
is owned and published by the aforementioned Mortimer B. Zuckerman, who also
has taken the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine for himself.
Zuckerman also owns the Atlantic Monthly and New York 's tabloid newspaper,
the Daily News, which is the sixth-largest paper in the country.
It should be noted, however, that the American print media is dying before
our eyes. Nearly all major newspapers have been steadily losing readers and
as a result, have lost major advertising monies. As no paper can exist on
subscriptions, the loss of ad money has further hastened their coming
oblivion. With the loss of importance of the print media; newspapers and
magazines, the obvious political powers wielded by their owners have also
diminished. The internet is quickly replacing the print and television media
because the American public has grown increasingly suspicious of the
reporting, especially in dealing with the mid-Eastern politics so dear to
the heart of Israeli supporters. As the internet is so diverse as to
preclude domination by anyone or any ethnic group, the media moguls will no
doubt turn to other sources of power while frantic advertisers flock to the
internet. One can expect to see Yahoo and other mediums jammed with a flood
of advertisements for air travel, hotels, new cars, coming attractions in
the shrinking motion picture world and many products from China, guaranteed
to be coated with lead paint or filled with contaminated contents..
Conclusions
The statement made in many very reputable circles that "the Jews run all the
media and we can't trust it" is basically borne out by the facts. Of course
the media barons make huge sums of money from their holdings but at the same
time, they exert a disproportionate amount of power in America . They can
easily make or break a politician, control a political party and even elect
a president. Stories that might injure any of them never see print but their
enemies, or perceived enemies, are very often the victims of vicious media
personal attacks. With the diminution of the print and television media,
those who indeed control our media will then try to move into the internet
to continue their reign of power. As pointed out earlier, the internet is so
diffused that control is not possible. However, using such sources as Google
(owned by a Russian Jew, Sergei Brin) or Wikpedia, an on-line "encyclopedia"
that can be counted on to smear the enemies and praise the friends of those
in power, there is still that element of control and influence.
These are the facts of media control in America . Anyone willing to spend a
few hours in a large library looking into current editions of yearbooks on
the radio and television industries and into directories of newspapers and
magazines; into registers of corporations and their officers, such as those
published by Standard and Poors and by Dun and Bradstreet; and into standard
biographical reference works can easily verify their accuracy. The facts are
undeniable, and when confronted with them, Jewish spokesmen customarily will
use evasive tactics. If pressed further, they will accuse the confronter of
"anti-Semitism" for even daring to raise the subject, and without a doubt,
the specter of Hitler and the fictionalizing of the holocaust will be loudly
spoken of. And it is fear of being labeled an anti-Semite or a pro-Nazi that
keeps many persons who know the facts, silent.
