Rupert, 5 friends control 90% of news
In 1983, 50 companies gave Americans their news.
Today, SIX corporations and the billionaires who control them
provide 90% of the news, including Fox News’ “fair and balanced” drivel from
Rupert Murdoch’s kingdom.
If this doesn’t scare the pants off you, then you don’t care about
democracy.
The only thing that hasn’t escaped the clutches of the plutocracy
is the social media, where the word gets out without being filtered by a few
billionaires’ agendas.
Within minutes after something newsworthy happens, it’s all over
social media.
The billionaires probably are working on a way to control Facebook
and Twitter posts.
80 billionaires have as much wealth as half the people on Earth
combined.
This can’t be good for democracy. Kings never had it so good.
And some people want to elect a trash-talking billionaire as the next President. So he can have his 6 friends join him in eviscerating what's left of the middle class.
