It's also why the liberals own the main media outlets......those are the front of the "supermarket aisle" of America. Control the message, you control the people.

Who Owns The News? http://www.whoownsthenews.com says:

Major multinational corporations, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and Saudi Princes, all hell bent on protecting their own interests, choose what you will see on the nightly news and trick you into believing it is unbiased reporting. As we see below all the major news outlets, regardless of what they make you believe, contributed heavily to George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 so any argument that they are controlled by liberals evaporates. In this case they all supported the candidate that promised to allow consolidation of multiple media companies.

The very news stories that you are fed by the mainstream media are manipulated to mirror the public relations campaigns of companies that operate nuclear plants, sprawling theme parks that gobble up wetlands, defense contractors, oil companies and even Saudi Princes. Remember the old "Outer Limits" TV shows where the announcer says "We control everything you see and hear, the vertical, the horizontal," etc? The corporate controlled news media controls all you see and hear.

Here are the top twenty media corporations in the U.S. according to mediaowners.com All but two of the following, #18 and #19 are not members of the Council On Foreign Relations.

1. Time Warner Inc.
2. Walt Disney Company
3. Viacom Inc.
4. News Corporation
5. CBS Corporation
6. Cox Enterprises
7. NBC Universal
8. Gannett Company, Inc.
9. Clear Channel Communications Inc.
10. Advance Publications, Inc.
11. Tribune Company
12. McGraw-Hill Companies
13. Hearst Corporation
14. Washington Post Company
15. The New York Times Company
16. E.W. Scripps Co.
17. McClatchy Company
18. Thomson Corporation
19. Freedom Communications, Inc.
20. A&E Television Networks

This is just crap. The CFR is not a group of organizations, it's 4700 individuals from all walks of life, from Colin Powell to Tom Brokaw to Meg Whitman to lawyers to educators to scientists to financial gurus. The CFR is not a nefarious organization hell bent on ruling the world, as you seem to imply.

Obviously not us, but then again we never thought we did, yes?

and you know this how? What we, the serfs, don't know about who runs the world and how they run it, would fill an ocean. And if you read up on ancient history of the empires and religion, you might understand that very few people manipulate the workings of countries, with the help of the gullible masses.

I know this by following the link the OP provide, as well as checking it out on Wikipedia. Pretty simple actually, when you're given the tool to verify facts right in the posting.
