Dear God,
All of the laws that we had in place to prevent monopolies and control of the information we get have been changed or removed by our Congress, lobbyists and clever lawyers. Here is a rough overview. http://www.freepress.net/ownership/chart/
Basically 90% of all media is controlled by 6 companies to some degree, they also own the manufacturing of many products including water supplies, jails and more. Which is why we never hear the truth.
One common use of the media is to continue to promote a love for competitive sports. The basic psychology is to set the groundwork for divide and conquer.
For instance, whenever something important is happening in Washington that the corporations or criminals don’t want you to know about. To fog the view of what they are doing to damage our nation and the security of our peoples quality of life. They will create sound bites to get everyone they can to pick a side to fight or argue for and focus on.
Amen
