Don't be absurd. The media is all owned by a handful of large multi-national corporations. They are all quite conservative.

(They are, however, not bat-s**t crazy, and understand business/economics, and hence have no reason to cover up Trump's lies....)

Really?

The New York Times is owned by Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire; he's not a conservative by any means.

NBC is owned by Comcast which was one of 0bama's biggest corporate backers.
ABC is owned by Disney, not what I would call a "conservative company."
CBS's CEO is Les Moonves, a big Democratic donor.

So far, this isn't looking good for your assessment.

Where did you get the crazy idea that NYT is owned by Carlos Slim? The New York Times has been owned by the Ochs Sulzberger family for the last 120 years.

But that's completely irrelevant, as the NYT is an insignificant player here. There are 6 corporations which own nearly all US media:

Comcast: Own NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Universal

Disney: Owns ABC, ESPN, Marvel,

Time Warner: Owns CNN, and HBO

News Corp: Own Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Barrons.

National Amusement (formerly Viacom): Owns CBS, Paramount, BET, Showtime.

Sony: Owns Sony Picture, Sony Music, Crackle

Carlos Slim is the biggest single stock owner of the NYT. And do not dismiss the NYT as inconsequential; they set the tone for the MSM.

He's the biggest owner of Class A stock (about 16%). However, the Ochs-Saltzberg family collectively own much more, and they are the only owners of Class B stock. Only Class B stock has v****g power, so Slim has no voice in the control of the company.

Well he does have a voice, but you're right, not control, and it should also be noted that he has been slowly, albeit very slowly, dumping his shares for a bit over a year now.

I Agree with the Gold Star Parents who penned this reply to Adm. McRaven, if he is truly a man of any Character who feels as strongly on the matter as he says, he should turn in his security clearance instead of requesting Trump to do it.

Here was their reply:

"Mr. McRaven has publicly exposed his true colors. While most see him as an esteemed man in uniform, our personal experience led us to view him through a much different light…
When we began to speak publicly about the facts we had collected regarding the shoot down, we experienced severe intimidation from military leadership who, at that time, served at the pleasure of Admiral McRaven. The accusation? We were being “political.” And you never mix military service and politics. Never. Imagine the irony, in our eyes, to read McRaven’s current letter to our President, using his voice as the former Commander of USJSOC.

He could not be more political. He’s confronting a sitting President, making a blanket statement that President Trump has “embarrassed us in the eyes of our children.” Well, sir, our children aren’t embarrassed. Our son would have been proud to have served under this Commander in Chief and quite frankly, might still be alive today if he had.
You, Mr. McRaven, have no right to speak for Americans in general.

The facts have shown that Mr. Brennan is a bad actor. To defend him as you have makes us wonder if you are possibly posturing for something significant? Maybe the nation should take a closer look at your motives, sir, as we have been forced to do as a family.

In addition, while we were being scorned for discussing the shoot-down of Extortion 17, we were told repeatedly that we could be hurting operational security for those still fighting on foreign soil. But nothing, sir, could have caused greater risk to that community than what you’ve just done. As a matter of national security, what you just did is actually unforgivable.

You’ve made the statement that you would be honored to have your security clearance revoked by our President. If you’re truly a man who stands for what you believe, do the honorable thing and turn in your security clearance on your own. We’re all tired of the grand-standing. We’ve been listening to the l*****ts and Marxists tell us for years that if they don’t get what they want they’ll leave our country, but yep, they’re still here. Enough already."
