Forum Post: All Media is Right Wing

By virtue of the fact that all media is owned by multi-billion dollar multinational commercial enterprise, all media is right wing. 90% of the 6 largest media outlets are owned by notorious right-wing corporations including ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox. MSNBC is right wing all day long. Andrea Mitchell is a far rightwinger who is married to Alan Greenspan. David Gregory of Meet the Press is a far rightwinger who is married to the CEO of Fannie Mae. Despite these facts, our country is still progressive and voting for change, IMAGINE that.

wrong...all MSM is corporate... right and left. you are making a huge mistake of you think the media in this country is right. They are different sides of the same coin.

OWS needs to stand outside of the left and right stand on your own two feet to make this happen.

some of you want to stand for Obama and some of you want to stand for the Repubs.....

you will lose America the power of your voice is anti political USE IT.

at election time you can vote for whoever you want. At the moment this is about solving problems not politics

i believe the change the movement hopes for will only occur with the creation and voting-in of a new political party, with the right appropriate moral agenda, who govern for the collective (and in my mind this is not just people, but all of nature as we know it) without conflict of interest (i.e. as today, with business). I also cannot see how real can take effect without a global movement i.e. in this case, political representation in all countries in the world.

Please help me spread the "Voices from Occupy Wall Street" video. While exposing police brutality is indeed important. It is also important to show the world the faces of reasonable, articulate and intelligent people. The real messages of the movement are not getting out. They are captured in this video. Won't you help me share and spread this video? I'll see you Saturday.

disagree, but I understand your position I think. The media is already increasingly being created by the people for the people i.e. personal video, vlog etc upoloads to youtube etc. Personally I am not concerned about a biased media anymore

Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the MSM, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. (Apologies to George Orwell.)

Right wing / left wing is a myth that exists only in the minds of the voters, all media is pro-corporate first and foremost. They choose to slant to one side of the myth solely for ratings, but they stand in lockstep when it comes to defending the multinational banks and corporations. All of the mainstream media today is nothing more than a propagandist front for a much larger criminal organization. It's nothing more than a show to keep the majority blinded and misinformed about what's going on in the world around them.

Agreed. There's no one in the media calling for an immediate end to the bullshit wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, despite that they have no clear objectives, have cost trillions of dollars, and we're in a depression. Virtually no one called the Tea Party out on this during the whole deficit reduction debacle.

Freedom of the press my ass, they're either corporate shills or idiots, probably both.
