Seriously, do you think the Jews control the media?

    Umm, I don't know o_O
    This is the first time I've heard of this...
    But I've heard that a few families own and control the media...

    The list DOES NOT list ALL of the media outlets. This in NO WAY implies that there's ANY bias since Jews are of all political persuasions.

    As for Pike of Clackamas and Rense of Medford, they are of the Anti-Semetic / Anti-Gay Far Right out of Oregon, a wacko and culturally unsophisticated Anti-Semetic State.

    Oregon and Arizona need to "grow up," and realize that there are Jews and Gays in the USA leading normal and productive lives. They should move to the Bay Area or Seattle and discover what the real world is like !

    The list also forgot to mention Bonneville International and several other local media groups that are Mormon Owned, and have significant market share in L.A., Washington DC, Seattle, Salt Lake, Phoenix, etc. etc. Glenn Beck is Mormon, Lars Larson left the LDS Church in his early 20's.

    As for other hosts, Hannity, Dobbs, and Limbaugh have never stated their religious affiliations, as far as I know. Thom Hartmann is a liberal who is not Jewish, I know this from someone who knows him personally. Randi Rhodes - not sure. Mike Rosen has said he is Jewish on the air, but that doesn't affect his political positions that revolve around economics, just like Lou Dobbs.

    I hate to see folks like Makow, Rense, and Pyke spreading all these silly scare stories about Jews and Gays controlling the world when it's NOT true.

    Absolutely ! Especially since the Stock Market Crash and Housing bubble, people don't treat each other the same anymore. They pick and choose who to blame, instead of realizing that *MONEY* is what gives people real power. If a Jew or Mormon or gay person or Far Right Christian has money, and WANTS to buy a TV or radio station, THEY WILL DO IT.

    Then, because of the paranoia that you mention, someone like Jeff Rense or this "Reverend" Theodore Pyke will come along and discredit the person, just because of their religion or ethnicity.

    Did you know that a Jew - Joseph Eichler (I am just guessing this is the case due to his name) - was the FIRST architect to sell homes to African Americans in the Bay Area ???


    The Jews in general are very philanthropic ( I mean, they give a lot of money to the poor, and they also tolerate diversity).


    MONEY MONEY MONEY - think of that, don't worry about labels. Then, figure out how to make MORE money in places that will ACCEPT your unique talents - your unique skills - your religion - your politics - your sexual orientation - whatever other unique things about you. In media - it's all about you - and how you promote yourself. You must find your niche - that's one reason folks in media never buy homes or get married, due to the risk of getting fired from poor ratings.


    If you're in radio, TV, or publishing, not all Cities will welcome you with open arms. I've seen it happen over and over to folks in entertainment, who move across the country and then get fired due to poor ratings. Usually the reason is their sense of humor or sarcasm isn't appreciated by "the locals," or, in extreme cases, they may not have enough sarcasm for "the locals!"

    :confused:Huh? Dennis Kucinich is the most prominent Anti-War leftist, and he is NOT anti-Israel, and he is certainly NOT anti-Jewish.

    I have Jewish friends who LOVE Kucinich, are STRONGLY anti-war, and also STRONGLY pro-Israel.

    There are no generalizations.

    The most Anti-Jewish and Anti-Israel and Anti-Gay folks are NOT on the far left.

    Instead, it's people of no political persuasion at all, such as Dr. Lorrainne Day of Rancho Mirage, CA, who says you can get AIDS from the bite of a mosquito, and Jeff Rense of Oregon and Henry Makow, who are notoriously Anti-Jewish and Anti-Gay.

    I love your analysis ! Reminds me of Michael Medved, a Very Conservative National Jewish talk host and Film Critic on the Right Wing Christian Salem Radio Network (they own HUNDREDS of USA stations, syndicating Evangelicals like James Dobson, James Kennedey, and Bill Bennett) ...

    ... and Medved's friend John Rothman, a very Liberal Jewish talk host of Liberal Citadel Owned KGO Radio in San Francisco. They don't agree on ANYTHING, but are VERY good friends ! :)

    Yes - We have a class war due to Bill Clinton (who is NOT Jewish, by the way) canceling the Telecommunications Act in about 1994 - allowing media companies to own more stations. THIS allowed consolidation of stations under those with the MONEY at FOX, CLEAR CHANNEL, CBS, CITADEL, CUMULUS, NBC, ABC, CNN, SALEM, etc.

    So, when you have less Mom and Pop stations, then there's less Independent, Investigative journalism. And, whoever has the money at FOX, CBS, CLEAR CHANNEL, etc. can promote whatever agenda they want. Such as Limbaugh and Hannity on 400+ stations (and, of course, Limbaugh and Hannity are NOT Jewish.

    And, Glenn Beck and Lars Larson are both Mormon, well, Lars is "ex-Mormon").

    Or on the far left, folks like Thom Hartmann who is an Elite Wealthy Liberal from Elite Portland, Oregon, who doesn't represent the Middle Class. Hartmann is NOT Jewish, either.

    Randi Rhodes is a liberal, not sure if she's Jewish, and she DOES stand up for the Middle Class, and against Corporations, unlike Professor Hartmann. Hartmann represents The Elite Rich Liberals who love those urban growth boundaries to keep the Poor outside the Cities living in the sticks (that's the class war in our cities today).

    I don't think Lou Dobbs is Jewish, and he ALSO stands up for the Middle Class.

    Karel is gay, and probably not religious, and ALSO stands up against Corporations. He has had significant market share for decades in California including right now on KGO. Peter B. Collins is NOT Jewish, on KGO.

    Bottom line - it is whoever has the most MONEY - and who is in a financial position to take advantage of Clinton's limitations on the number of stations you can own - that controls the political point of view. Radio - leans to the right except NPR. TV - mixed to slightly to the left. The Internet - far to the left. Newspapers - mixed. Alternative newspapers - far to the left. College papers - far left.

    And, often, the most popular radio and TV commentators are NOT Jewish - and can even be Mormon, gay, atheists, or Christians. Tammy Bruce is a lesbian, and works for Conservative Jews in the Roy Masters dynasty.

    As long as they HAVE THE MONEY to hire good agents for their contracts, they will stay on the air !:sunny:

    Fwiw, Rhodes is Jewish but has a policy of not discussing it on air.

    You go on to mention many more on air personalities. I'm not sure what your point is, but they don't own the media. So if it Jews, such as Murdock, allow right-wingers to predominate then it is Murdock's responsibility for having right-wing Conservative Christians dominate his news station. My point is ownership and on air personalities are two different things and not necessarily the same religion or even political outlook (if they were indeed fair and balanced.)

    The question then is, does Murdock do it cause he found that to be more profitable than a truly balanced station, or because it gives him more political leverage, or because he is right-wing himself, or all of the above?

    I see the news media suddenly in the spotlight for having so many secret ties with governments and law enforcement, thanks to Murdock's blunders.

    This should be a good thing, so long as new regulations don't overly burden free speech. I think there are probably enough laws to cover the crimes of these news organizations, but a few old, terminated laws like the Equal Time provision should be restored to ensure every channel is fair and balanced, and that doesn't mean just two opposing points of view. There are more than two political parties too, in America.

    corporate neo-nazi's control "the" media. ethnicity has nothing to do with it. though i suspect the vast majority of ceo's and media controlling ceo's, to be white, anglo-saxon, protistant, free-masons.
