And you’re reaching maybe 4 people that will read this.

Our news media, print, TV, and Internet, is really just controlled by a handful of folks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/fs5g0b/more_than_90_of_the_us_media_is_controlled_by/#lightbox (legacy media)

Social media (total trash qualitatively) has become the PRIMARY source where people get their information from and when a sitting President is in disagreement with Zuckerberg (a Democrat) he gets censored and banned.

Meanwhile, when Ukraine is fashionable on the political left Facebook permits neo Nazis to post their crap and use their platform to organize and communicate specifically because of Ukraine:

Zuckerberg, basically single handedly controls what most Americans see and hear and consider “news:” https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRaDVN59kPbcw3Gi8QqCV6CZeggbuejOILuzzwRIXmZ8ZA13BFfUjnDP0&s=10 (controls #1, 3, 4 and 8)

Did you know EVERYTHING coming into and going out of the US goes through only 4 servers, 2 on the East Coast, 2 on the West coast, and the government (NSA) controls these?

Did you know the government has their hands in Google really an NSA creation: https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-research-grants-for-mass-surveillance

(The governments game)
Did you know Cisco, your anti virus, operating system, telecom providers, search engine, national channels (4 servers) connecting the country to the world are all working with the government in various ways?

(Private ownership of media and social media)
You have just 6 media conglomerates control 90% of what people see and hear on TV. On social media it’s even WORSE, there you have 1 single person control what most Americans see and hear and call the news.

But sure, we have more freedom today. LOL

In the 1970s, Dan Rather would have gotten away with it.

In 2000, he didn't.

Were you even alive in 1970? I think you weren't, and you don't understand the absolute information dominance ABC/NBC/CBS had, along with leftist newspapers.
