I realized most news media in America is owned by the same four or five corporations but I thought that only extended as far as the biggest news media, CNN, Fox etc. But the local news too?  They have control, damn, and they have a LOT of it. 

Philly D covers it in the first five minutes of this video.

Frightening. No wonder their is such division in the US. Ya'll are being brainwashed and just regurgitating the scripts filtered down into even local media from the top. I hope the internet impacts this some how but even that miracle is being tightened and controlled by these corporations through creating controlled outrage among the people. 

I will not even entertain the idea that CNN, Fox, Sky, the BBC or even my own national media corp RTE are telling any form of truth.  The world and all of us in it, is owned by a group of billionaires. :(

Whoops, wrong video there. Mustn't have saved it to my clipboard.

Yeah, they tend to own a lot of the local news stations. I know that mine is owned by Bell, one of the biggest telecommunications corporations in Canada.

Why don't you just watch or read Reuters? They report the facts and let all the bullshit talk heads from other news outlets do all the bickering. 

I would classify anyone that stated Reuters is biased as a fucking idiot.

Crazy.

Why do people even read non-sports news anyway?

Do you want to be ignorant of world events?

That is what sports are there for people.  Distract them from all the shit that goes on in the world.  Ignorance is bliss.

When they're always horrible and depressing, sure why not? Ignorance is bliss.

Hey you stole my line.
