The Coming Right Wing Takeover Of Most News Media: A Threat To America’s Future!

The right wing LOVES to claim that the news media are overly liberal, when that is a massive falsehood, and has been so for many years.

YES, the New York Times and Washington Post, and CBS, NBC, ABC and MSNBC are liberal, and there are others.

But talk radio has been dominated by the right wing for twenty years; Fox News Channel, owned by Rupert Murdoch and operated by Roger Ailes, has been spewing right wing propaganda for 17 years; the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post are also owned by Murdoch, and now the greatest threat to the promotion of truth over propaganda is emerging with the report that David and Charles Koch, the infamous Koch Brothers, who tried to fix the Presidential Election of 2012 with their engagement in spending hundreds of millions of their assets on Congressional races and the Presidency, allowable under the disgraceful Citizens United case of the Supreme Court, are now attempting to buy the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, and the South Florida Sun Sentinel, along with other smaller papers owned by the bankrupt Tribune Corporation!

This will mean that the Koch Brothers will be able to extend their evil influence, already affecting our political and legal system,. our educational system, and having worked against health care and labor as part of their goal to control the American future in a deleterious way!

Of course, our system allows anyone to use their wealth to purchase and use their influence in any way they wish, but it is a sad day for American journalism, nevertheless!

    Progressive Credo continued :
    – I believe the Koch Brothers are greedy, conniving hate-mongers, and that convicted felon and Nazi collaborator George Soros is a selfless patriot.
    – I believe in free speech, so why don’t you shut the **** up.

    Juan, you are using Glenn Beck as a source for Soros being a Nazi collaborator, which is ridiculous! Do you realize Soros is Jewish, and all evidence is that he worked against the Nazis as a child in his early teens during World War II? To use Glenn Beck as a source is to fail to realize that Beck is a total charlatan and lunatic, one of the most dangerous propagandists in America today! And if you use the F word, even in asterisks, I will block you, as you are going too far in your language!

    Ron: Soros is a convicted felon and you know that and that should be enough! As for the Nazi collaboration, I’m just using the same standard the hypocritical left uses when they accuse Pope Benedict of being a Nazi. I know very well that Soros only accompanied his “godfather” to the expropriation of property belonging to the Jews is Hungary.. I know he was only 14 yo. Finally I must add that I never listen to Beck.

    Hello Professor,
    I am hoping for enough battery to pen a new posting on my site with this subject but I will post these two links for your review. I had to laugh thinking of all the many nihilistic verbally touting conservatives pointed to and referenced this incident a couple of years ago as being fact to formulate their viewpoints.
