The end of history
Vidal, Gore | September 30, 1996 issue

add to cart   close window

Most of the U.S. media are now owned by handful of corporations. The most impressive of these are Time Warner, general Electric-NBC and Westinghouse Corporation representing television network and cable, weapon factories and other insurance firms. The danger of allowing the corporate few to make and control mass opinion was about to be dramatized. The article emphasizes that the information and education are so tightly controlled that very little news about the actual U.S. situation ever gets through to the consumers. Instead the Americans are so hated by those envious of their wealth and goodness that they commit terrorist acts against them. These corporate imperialists are manipulators of the mass opinion.
