Media Giants Too Powerful? Ask Who Owns the MIC
Newsweek's concern about media consolidation (from an article that's oddly 5 years old, but hey, timeless issues, right?) is a nice distraction. While they fret over local news mergers, the real behemoth – the military-industrial complex's media arm – operates with impunity, shaping narratives for perpetual war. Remember how the same networks that champion 'free press' conveniently amplify voices
demanding more arms for Ukraine, or endless provocations in the Middle East? (HR 815, providing billions in military aid, comes to mind.) There's never a 'too powerful' question when it comes to war profits. It's almost as if some media giants are only 'too powerful' when their power doesn't align with the Pentagon's quarterly reports. One might wonder if Newsweek's sudden rediscovery of this
'timeless' piece isn't just a clever pivot, asking Congress to fix the symptom while ignoring the disease.
