I'm not sure what to think of this article.
http://pakalert.wordpress.com/20…
Can someone give me some insight, thoughts or ideas on this monopolistic subject matter. I'm particularly interested in how this might affect or has affected our thinking, economy and perceptions in social, business, and culture.

Actually Fox News is owned by Arabs so it all evens out.

I thought this would be an interesting topic here because of the nature of the designers here to be working in media. Plus the idea of our information being controlled by just a few people who owns all the media from entertainment to real world news.

It's an interesting topic, but the way it's framed in this article is somewhat offensive. It may be a problem to have media ownership consolidated in the hands of a few companies, but what's the relevance of Michael Eisner being Jewish? Because of this, Disney is now unwholesome?
Articles like this are written with the intent of defusing the issue of media conglomeration. It makes it seem like the people worried about it are a bunch of antisemitic nuts. I'm not seeing a lot of yamakas on tv, I don't think that's the problem...

there's a problem with corporate media and its not the Jews, just like there's a problem with global warming and its not zionist isrealies

I just ordered Manufacturing Consent by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky on the subject of mass media, propaganda, etc (one of many related works between the two of them). I'm excited because it's the Vintage published version but that's irrelevant to your topic. I suppose it doesn't help that they both are of Jewish descent (no idea what their practice is, if any) except that they would at least appear to be opposed to the predicament described in the article you linked.

- Wikipedia also suggests Chomsky is an anti-Zionist Jew, if that means anything to you.ismith

It's a bit problematic to simply say that, because most Jews i know are so liberal that they hate pretty much all that the Jewish state is doing to Palestinians for instance or expanding illegally its own lands into another state (Palestine) or...
That said though without too much jew-phobia yes it is scary when such large percentage of media belongs to a group of people pledging alliance of a kind to a very small country in Middle East - and i haven't meet a Jew who wouldn't care what's going on with Israel. Thus for instance you will never see a politician talking trash about Israel in the States because they are all afraid of the backlash.

I happen to have a very good friend who is Jewish. But like me, he considers himself a New Yorker first. He happens to think that there is a very big conspiracy going on that's coming from the very top of the Jewish ladder.

from the article:
“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel...” Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache

i can't believe anyone would freely buy into any of this garbage without the least bit of skepticism.
whatsup: i spent about 3 minutes googling the origin of that quote from tzipora menache and quickly found out it's nothing more than propaganda. it was a quote taken out of context to skew the readers opinion. the entire "article" screams anti-semitism. there are no sources quoted for any of its rantings.
would you actually believe that 96% of the WORLD'S media is owned by those of jewish descent (excuse me, "zionists")?
here's a link to the original source of the tzipora menache quote by the way, before it was taken out of context:

gabe, before you start running around like a headless chicken screaming antisemitism conciser 4 biggest newspapers in NYC:
New York Time: Sulzberger family (liberal Jews)
Daily News: owner Mort Zuckerman (active supporter involved in Jewish causes)
New York Post: owner Rupert Murdoch (don't even start me on his skewed way of portraying Israeli affairs)
Wall Street Journal: owner Rupert Murdoch (see above)...So it's not %96 but actually %100.
- gabe0
pr2, first of all, whatsup has posted two anti-semitic threads in just one day.
secondly, i didn't realize that those 4 newspapers made up 100% of the WORLD'S media.
...oh wait, they don't.

if you want to have an intellectual conversation about the relevance of jewish people in the media, that's fine. but contributing to a thread whose first article is riddled with bigotry, propaganda, and misinformation is another thing entirely (and so is putting statistics to mere opinion).
- what's wrong with contributing to this conversation even if the first article sucks?ismith

aren't the semite all those people from the same region full of oil?
- gabe0
sorry ismith, nothing is wrong with contributing to this thread.
what i meant to say was the first article really sets the tone of the conversation. what makes it worse, i suspect people often read the article, then come here and talk back and forth using that article as the sole source of their information (instead of doing their due diligence).
- pr20
Well if you live in NYC and get your news from the newspapers (and if you ride the subway here in the city than it looks like most people do) then you need to be aware that your sources regarding Israeli-Palestinian affairs, pre war with Iraq, current Iran affairs, Ahmajinedad and i few others will be heavily skewed as all printed media in NYC are in Jewish hands.
- gabe0
point taken pr2, but please read what i wrote more carefully before jumping on my back next time. regardless of whether or not there is any relevance in the originally posted link (and there is some), it's drowned out by the overwhelming amount of bigotry and misinformation that makes up the majority of the article--and that's where my beef is.
also keep in mind that new york is not 100% of the world's media. but then again: you live there, which makes it 100% of yours, which naturally means it must be 100% of everyone else's too, right?
do you see where i'm headed with this? it's a subject matter that requires attention, but the discussions deserve to be treated with the same respect and credibility that any other major political topic would demand. that means no wildly estimated statistics and no quotes intentionally out of context, especially from articles that are practically condemning an entire race.

@gabe- Don't get me wrong, I don't feel hatred towards any particular race. However off the bat, I don't believe the article was anti-semitic as the information from the article holds validity to historical records, filled with lots of statical information. The lens being used however is questionable asking whether media monopolies being 'Jewish-owned' should hold any relevance in current events. To be skeptical on the subject, is not anti-semetic. However believing everything media tells you would be acceptance of brainwashing.
With that said, the opening statement of the document by the Israeli spokesman is provocative and a questionable quote, however does not change the hierarchy and ownership of today's media.
There was some negative references to "gangsta rap" and their negative feelings towards whites, condemning gangsta rap's jewish originations. When in fact the genre of music was a product of Warner Brothers. This creates a new perspective on not just the rapper, but the company that signed the rap group to begin with. Going deeper behind the company's brand(since this is a race case) I would ask, why would a Jewish owned company promote a group that held negative feelings towards whites?
However the biggest issue in the whole matter is how much filtration, censorship are we getting in the media. Understanding what is going on in current events. Is it possible that America's actions and understandings are being mediated via a Jewish influence? Are American soldiers being deployed for reasons of money or fulfilling biblical prophecy or killing two birds with one stone?

is this "world" the same "world" that occurs in most of America's sports cups?
