six corporations control ninety percent of the media let's put up the info
graphic from ruble dad
also look at numbers that indicate the consolidation that we've seen let's if
we can put that info graphic guys
from uh... frugal that
but that's the q
the rehab can find it's called what frugal that info graphic or something
like that
yet until i have is this random romney horse
uh... okay that's and you know it's not
all right well that maybe we don't have it there is an info rafiq on frugal dad
dot com in it points out the incredible consolidation that we've seen
in media in nineteen eighty-three ninety percent of american media was owned by
fifty companies
now in twenty eleven
ninety percent of american okay we found the info that i think it's a habitat
wallace like object and then not only does it look mark that's the that's the
graph but let's look at that offer up screen this is an verison guys
uh... in twenty eleven we drop that ownership of ninety percent of media
down to only six companies the six companies are g_e_
news corporation disney viacom time warner and c_b_s_ so if we look at it
how many news executives those companies have
and how many people are being reached two hundred and thirty-two news
executives at least six corporations control the information diets
of two hundred seventy seven million americans that means that one use
executive
at one of these companies
controls
eight hundred and fifty thousand people's
television
programming
this is the best case
for supporting independent media like the david package elect the young turks
like sam cedar investable f podcast it it has to be the best argument list
it does and it looked we we have to stand called the internet
which is also controlled in great part by the same companies but they're still

if we can keep net neutrality from of failing us
and making it so that time warner can make it so that
time warner programming
