That’s because, in 1996, Al Gore got the Telecommunications Act of 1996 passed. It allowed the foreign ownership of the media, and for media companies to amass medial outlets to become the sole owners in almost all the markets of every media company.

When you have foreign corporations, and in the case of the UAE for example, foreign governments owning our media, you won’t get ‘fair and balanced’ reporting. You’ll get reporting that degrades the American people, promotes the entertainment outlets owned by the massive media corporations, and propaganda that promotes the globalist view.
