FAX# 304-653-4690 : :There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the :manipulators of public opinion in America. No king or pope of old, no :conquering general or :high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of :the few dozen men who control America's mass news and entertainment :media. : :Their power is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into every home in :America, and it works its will during nearly every waking hour. It is :the power which shapes :and molds the mind of virtually every citizen, young or old, rich or :poor, simple or sophisticated. : :The mass media form for us our image of the world and then tell us what :to think about that image. Essentially everything we know — or think we :know — about :events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances comes to :us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or our :television. : :It is not just the heavy-handed suppression of certain news stories from :our newspapers or the blatant propagandizing of history-distorting TV :"docudramas" which :characterizes the opinion-manipulating techniques of the media masters. :They exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in their management of both :the news and the :entertainment which they present to us. : :For example, the way in which the news is covered: which items are :emphasized and which are played down, the reporter's choice of words, :tone of voice, and :facial expressions; the wording of headlines; the choice of :illustrations — all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly :affect the way in which we interpret what :we see or hear. : :On top of this, of course, the columnists and editors remove any :remaining doubt from our minds as to just what we are to think about it :all. Employing carefully :developed psychological techniques, they guide our thought and opinion :so that we can be in tune with the "in" crowd, the "beautiful people," :the "smart money." :They let us know exactly what our attitudes should be toward various :types of people and behavior by placing those people or that behavior in :the context of a TV :drama or situation comedy and having the other TV characters react to :them in the Politically Correct way. : : Molding American Minds : :For example, a racially mixed couple will be respected, liked, and :socially sought after by other characters, as will a "take charge" Black :scholar or businessman, or :a sensitive and talented homosexual, or a poor but honest and :hardworking illegal alien from Mexico. On the other hand, a White racist :— that is, any racially :conscious White person who looks askance at miscegenation or at the :rapidly darkening racial situation in America — is portrayed, at best, :as a despicable bigot :who is reviled by the other characters, or, at worst, as a dangerous :psychopath who is fascinated by firearms and is a menace to all :law-abiding citizens. The White :racist "gun nut," in fact, has become a familiar stereotype on TV shows. : :The average American, of whose daily life TV-watching takes such an :unhealthy portion, distinguished between these fictional situations and :reality only with :difficulty, if at all. He responds to the televised actions, statements, :and attitudes of TV actors much as he does to his own peers in real :life. For all too many :Americans the real world has been replaced by the false reality of the :TV environment, and it is to this false reality that his urge to conform :responds. Thus, when a :TV scriptwriter expresses approval of some ideas and actions through the :TV characters for whom he is writing, and disapproval of others, he :exerts a powerful :pressure on millions of viewers toward conformity with his own views. : :And as it is with TV entertainment, so it is also with the news, whether :televised or printed. The insidious thing about this form of thought :control is that even when :we realize that entertainment or news is biased, the media masters still :are able to manipulate most of us. This is because they not only slant :what they present, but :they establish tacit boundaries and ground rules for the permissible :spectrum of opinion. : :As an example, consider the media treatment of Middle East news. Some :editors or commentators are slavishly pro-Israel in their every :utterance, while others :seem nearly neutral. No one, however, dares suggest that the U.S. :government is backing the wrong side in the Arab-Jewish conflict and :that it served Jewish :interests rather than American interests to send U.S. forces to cripple :Iraq, Israel's principle rival in the Middle East. Thus, a spectrum of :permissible opinion, from :pro-Israel to nearly neutral, is established. : :Another example is the media treatment of racial issues in the United :States. Some commentators seem almost dispassionate in reporting news of :racial strife, while :others are emotionally partisan — with the partisanship always on the :non-White side. All of the media spokesmen without exception, however, :take the position :that "multiculturalism" and racial mixing are here to stay, and that :they are good things. : :Because there are differences in degree, however, most Americans fail to :realize that they are being manipulated. Even the citizen who complains :about "managed :news" falls into the trap of thinking that because he is presented with :an apparent spectrum of opinion he can escape the thought controllers' :influence by believing :the editor or commentator of his choice. It's a "heads I win, tails you :lose" situation. Every point on the permissible spectrum of public :opinion is acceptable to the :media masters — and no impermissible fact or viewpoint is allowed any :exposure at all, if they can prevent it. : :The control of the opinion-molding media is nearly monolithic. All of :the controlled media — television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, :motion pictures — :speak with a single voice, each reinforcing the other. Despite the :appearance of variety, there is no real dissent, no alternative source :of facts or ideas accessible to :the great mass of people which might allow them to form opinions at odds :with those of the media masters. They are presented with a single view :of the world — a :world in which every voice proclaims the equality of the races, the :inerrant nature of the Jewish "Holocaust" tale, the wickedness of :attempting to halt a flood of :non-White aliens from pouring across our borders, the danger of :permitting citizens to keep and bear arms, the moral equivalence of all :sexual orientations, and the :desirability of a "pluralistic," cosmopolitan society rather than a :homogeneous one. It is a view of the world designed by the media masters :to suit their own ends — :and the pressure to conform to that view is overwhelming. People adapt :their opinions to it, vote in accord with it, and shape their lives to :fit it. : : Electronic News & Entertainment :Media : :Continuing government deregulation of the telecommunications industry :has resulted, not in the touted increased competition, but rather in an :accelerating wave of :corporate mergers and acquisitions that have produced a handful of :multi-billion-dollar media conglomerates. Whenever you watch television, :whether from a local :broadcasting station or via a cable or satellite dish; whenever you see :a feature film in a theater or at home; whenever you listen to the radio :or recorded music, :whenever you read a newspaper, book, or magazine — it is very likely :that the information or entertainment you receive was produced and/or :distributed by one of :these megamedia companies. : :The largest media conglomerate today is Walt Disney Company, whose :chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, is a Jew. The Disney empire, headed by :a man :described by one media analyst as "a control freak," includes several :television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone :Television, Buena Vista :Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers, and two :video production companies. : :As for feature films, the Walt Disney Picture Group, headed by Joe Roth :(also a Jew), includes Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and :Caravan Pictures. :Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers, who have :produced such ultra-raunchy movies such as The Crying Game, Priests, and :Kids. : :When the Disney Company was run by the Gentile Disney family prior to :its takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomized wholesome, family :entertainment. While it still :holds the rights to Snow White, under Eisner the company has expanded :into the production of graphic sex and gratuitous violence. In addition :to TV and movies, :the corporation owns Disneyland, Disney World, Epcot Center, Tokyo :Disneyland, and Euro Disney. : :Disney also sells annually well over a billion dollars worth of consumer :products: books, toys, and clothing. In August 1995 Eisner acquired :Capital Cities/ABC, :Inc., to create a media empire with annual sales of $16.5 billion. :Capital Cities/ABC owns the ABC Television Network, which in turn owns :ten TV stations :outright in such big markets as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los :Angeles, and Houston. In addition, it has 225 affiliated stations in the :United States and is :part owner of several European TV companies. : :ABC's cable subsidiary, ESPN, is headed by president and CEO Steven :Bornstein, who is a Jew. The corporation also has a controlling share of :Lifetime :Television and the Arts & Entertainment Network cable companies. ABC :Radio Network owns 11 AM and ten FM stations, again in major cities such :as New :York, Washington, and Los Angeles, and has over 3,400 affiliates. : :Although primarily a telecommunications company, Capital Cities/ABC :earned over $1 billion in publishing in 1994. It owns seven daily :newspapers, Fairchild :Publications (Women's Wear Daily), Chilton Publications (automotive :manuals), and the Diversified Publishing Group. : :Time Warner, Inc., is the second of the international media leviathans. :The chairman of the board and CEO, Gerald M. Levin, is a Jew. Time :Warner's subsidiary :HBO is the country's largest pay-TV cable network. : :Warner Music is by far the world's largest record company, with 50 :labels, the biggest of which is Warner Brothers Records, headed by Danny :Goldberg. Stuart :Hersh is president of Warnervision, Warner Music's video production :unit. Goldberg and Hersch are both Jews. : :Warner Music was an early promoter of "gangsta rap." Through its :involvement with Interscope Records, it helped popularize a new genre :whose graphic lyrics :explicitly urge Blacks to commit acts of violence against Whites. : :In addition to cable and music, Time Warner is heavily involved in the :production of feature films (Warner Brothers Studio) and publishing. :Time Warner's :publishing division (editor-in-chief Norman Pearlstine, a Jew) is the :largest magazine publisher in the country (Time, Sports Illustrated, :People, Fortune). : :Levin may soon be back as number-one media magnate if the planned deal :with Turner Broadcasting System is completed. When Ted Turner, the :Gentile media :maverick, made a bid to buy CBS in 1985, there was a panic in media :boardrooms across the nation. Turner had made a fortune in advertising :and then had built a :successful cable-TV news network, CNN. Although Turner employed a number :of Jews in key executive positions in CNN and had never taken public :positions :contrary to Jewish interests, he is a man with a large ego and a strong :personality and was regarded by Chairman William Paley and the other :Jews at CBS as :uncontrollable: a loose cannon who might at some time in the future turn :against them. Furthermore, Jewish newsman Daniel Schorr, who had worked :for Turner, :publicly charged that his former boss held a personal dislike for Jews. : :To block Turner's bid CBS executives invited billionaire Jewish theater, :hotel, insurance, and cigarette magnate Laurence Tisch to launch a :"friendly" takeover of the :company, and from 1986 till 1995 Tisch was the chairman and CEO of CBS, :removing any threat of non-Jewish influence there. Subsequent efforts by :Turner to :acquire a major network have been obstructed by Levin's Time Warner, :which owns nearly 20 percent of CBS stock and has veto power over major :deals. : :Thus, despite being an innovator and garnering headlines, Turner has :never commanded the wealth and power to be a true media master. Turner :may have decided: :if you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If TBS merges with Time Warner, Levin :will become Turner's boss, and CNN, the only rival to the network news, :will come under :complete Jewish control. : :Viacom, Inc., headed by Sumner Redstone (born Murray Rothstein), is the :third largest megamedia corporation in the country, with revenues of :over $10 billion a :year. Viacom, which produces and distributes TV programs for the three :largest networks, owns 12 television stations and 12 radio stations. It :produces feature :films through Paramount Pictures, headed by Jewess Sherry Lansing. : :Its publishing division includes Prentice Hall, Simon & Schuster, and :Pocket Books. It distributes videos through over 4,000 Blockbuster :stores. It is also involved :in satellite broadcasting, theme parks, and video games. : :Viacom's chief claim to fame, however, is as the world's largest :provider of cable programming, through its Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, :and other networks. :Since 1989, MTV and Nickelodeon have acquired larger and larger shares :of the juvenile television audience. Redstone, who actually owns 76 :percent of the :shares of Viacom ($3 billion), offers Beavis and Butthead as teen role :models and is the largest single purveyor of race-mixing propaganda to :White teenagers and :sub-teens in America and Europe. MTV pumps its racially mixed rock and :rap videos into 210 million homes in 71 countries and is the dominant :cultural influence :on White teenagers around the world. : :Nickelodeon has by far the largest share of the four-to-11-year-old TV :audience in America and also is expanding rapidly into Europe. Most of :its shows do not :yet display the blatant degeneracy which is MTV's trademark, but :Redstone is gradually nudging the fare presented to his kiddie viewers :toward the same poison :purveyed by MTV. : :With the top three, and by far the largest, media conglomerates in the :hands of Jews, it is difficult to believe that such an overwhelming :degree of control came about :without a deliberate, concerted effort on their part. : :What about the other big media companies? : :Number four on the list is Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which owns :Fox Television Network and 20th Century Fox Films. Murdoch is a Gentile, :but :Peter Chernin, who heads Murdoch's film studio and also oversees his TV :production, is a Jew. : :Number five is the Japanese Sony Corporation, whose U.S. subsidiary, :Sony Corporation of America, is run by Michael Schulhof, a Jew. Alan J. :Levine, another :Jew, heads the Sony Pictures division. : :Most of the television and movie production companies that are not owned :by the largest corporations are also controlled by Jews. For example, :New World :Entertainment, proclaimed by one media analyst as "the premiere :independent TV program producer in the United States," is owned by :Ronald Perelman, a Jew :who also owns Revlon cosmetics. The chairman at New World, Brandon :Tartikoff (formerly head of entertainment programming at NBC), is also a :Jew. : :The best known of the smaller media companies, DreamWorks SKG, is a :strictly kosher affair. DreamWorks was formed in 1994 amid great media :hype by :recording industry mogul David Geffen, former Disney Pictures chairman :Jeffrey Katzenberg, and film direction Steven Spielberg, all three of :whom are Jews. The :company produces movies, animated films, television programs, and :recorded music. Considering the cash and connections that Geffen, :Katzenberg, and Spielberg :have, DreamWorks may soon be in the same league as the big three. : :Two other large production companies, MCA and Universal Pictures, are :both owned by Seagram Company, Ltd. The president and CEO of Seagram, :the liquor :giant, is Edgar Bronfman, Jr., who is also president of the World Jewish :Congress. : :It is well known that Jews have controlled the production and :distribution of films since the inception of the movie industry in the :early decades of this century. This :is still the case today. : :Films produced by just the five largest motion picture companies :mentioned above — Disney, Warner Brothers, Sony, Paramount (Viacom), and :Universal :(Seagram) — accounted for 74 percent of the total box-office receipts :for the year to date (August 1995). : :The big three in television network broadcasting used to be ABC, CBS, :and NBC. With the consolidation of the media empires, these three are no :longer :independent entities. While they were independent, however, each was :controlled by a Jew since its inception: ABC by Leonard Goldenson, CBS :first by William :Paley and then by Laurence Tisch, and NBC first by David Sarnoff and :then by his son Robert. Over periods of several decades these networks :were staffed from :top to bottom with Jews, and the essential Jewishness of network :television did not change when the networks were absorbed by other :corporations. The Jewish :presence in television news remains particularly strong. : :As noted, ABC is part of Eisner's Disney Company, and the executive :producers of ABC's news programs are all Jews: Victor S. Neufeld :(20-20), Bob :Reichbloom (Good Morning America), and Rick Kaplan (World News Tonight). : :CBS was recently purchased by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. :Nevertheless, the man appointed by Laurence Tisch, Eric Ober, remains :president of CBS :News, and Ober is a Jew. : :At NBC, now owned by General Electric, NBC News president Andrew Lack is :a Jew, as are executive producers Jeff Zucker (Today), Jeff Gralnick :(NBC :Nightly News), and Neal Shapiro (Dateline). : : The Print Media : :After television news, daily newspapers are the most influential :information medium in America. Sixty million of them are sold (and :presumably read) each day. :These millions are divided among some 1,500 different publications. One :might conclude that the sheer number of different newspapers across :America would :provide a safeguard against minority control and distortion. Alas, such :is not the case. There is less independence, less competition, and must :less representation of :majority interests than a casual observer would think. : :The days when most cities and even towns had several independently owned :newspaper published by local people with close ties to the community are :gone. :Today most "local" newspapers are owned by a rather small number of :large companies controlled by executives who live and work hundreds or :even thousands of :miles away. The fact is that only about 25 percent of the country's :1,500 papers are independently owned; the rest belong to multi-newspaper :chains. Only 100 of :the total number have circulations of more then 100,000. Only a handful :are large enough to maintain independent reporting staffs outside their :own communities; the :rest must depend on these few for all of their national and :international news. : :In only 50 cities in America are there more than one daily newspaper, :and competition is frequently nominal even among them, as between :morning and afternoon :editions under the same ownership. Examples of this are the Huntsville, :Alabama, morning News and afternoon Times; the Birmingham, Alabama, :morning Post :Herald and afternoon News; the Mobile, Alabama, morning Register and :afternoon Press; the Springfield, Massachusetts, morning Union, :afternoon News, and :Sunday-only Republican; the Syracuse, New York, morning Post-Standard :and afternoon Herald-Journal — all owned by the Jewish Newhouse brothers :through :their holding company, Advance Publications. : :The Newhouse media empire provides an example of more than the lack of :real competition among America's daily newspapers: it also illustrates :the insatiable :appetite Jews have shown for all the organs of opinion control on which :they could fasten their grip. The Newhouses own 26 daily newspapers, :including several :large and important ones, such as the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Newark :Star-Ledger, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune; the nation's largest :trade book :publishing conglomerate, Random House, with all its subsidiaries; :Newhouse Broadcasting, consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations :and 87 cable-TV :systems, including some of the country's largest cable networks; the :Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than 22 million :copies per week; some :two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker, Vogue, :Mademoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Bride's, Gentlemen's Quarterly, :Self, House & Garden, and :all the other magazines of the wholly owned Conde Nast group. : :This Jewish media empire was founded by the late Samuel Newhouse, an :immigrant from Russia. When he died in 1979 at the age of 84, he :bequeathed media :holdings worth an estimated $1.3 billion to his two sons, Samuel and :Donald. With a number of further acquisitions, the net worth of Advance :Publications has :grown to more than $8 billion today. : :The gobbling up of so many newspapers by the Newhouse family was in :large degree made possible by the fact that newspapers are not supported :by their :subscribers, but by their advertisers. It is advertising revenue — not :the small change collected from a newspaper's readers — that largely :pays the editor's salary :and yields the owner's profit. : :Whenever the large advertisers in a city choose to favor one newspaper :over another with their business, the favored newspaper will flourish :while its competitor :dies. Since the beginning of this century, when Jewish mercantile power :in America became a dominant economic force, there has been a steady :rise in the number :of American newspapers in Jewish hands, accompanied by a steady decline :in the number of competing Gentile newspapers — primarily as a result of :selective :advertising policies by Jewish merchants. : :Furthermore, even those newspapers till under Gentile ownership and :management are so thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising revenue :that their editorial :and news reporting policies are largely constrained by Jewish likes and :dislikes. It holds true in the newspaper business, as elsewhere, that he :who pays the piper :calls the tune. : : Three Jewish Newspapers : :The suppression of competition and the establishment of local monopolies :on the dissemination of news and opinion have characterized the rise of :Jewish control :over America's newspapers. The resulting ability of Jews to use the :press as an unopposed instrument of Jewish policy could hardly be better :illustrated than by the :examples of the nation's three most prestigious and influential :newspapers: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the :Washington Post. These three, :dominating America's financial and political capitals, are the :newspapers which set the trends and the guidelines for nearly all the :others. They are the ones which :decide what is news and what isn't, at the national and international :levels. They originate the news; the others merely copy it. And all :three newspapers are in :Jewish hands. : :The New York Times is the unofficial social, fashion, entertainment, :political, and cultural guide of the nation. It tells America's "smart :set" which books to buy and :which films to see; which opinions are in style at the moment; which :politicians, educators, spiritual leaders, artists, and businessmen are :the real comers. And for a :few decades in the last century it was a genuinely American newspaper. : :The New York Times was founded in 1851 by two Gentiles, Henry J. Raymond :and George Jones. After their deaths, it was purchased in 1896 from :Jones's :estate by a wealthy Jewish publisher, Adolph Ochs. His great-grandson, :Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., is the paper's current publisher and CEO. :The executive :editor is Max Frankel, and the managing editor is Joseph Lelyveld. Both :of the latter are also Jews. : :The Sulzberger family also owns, through the New York Times Co., 33 :others newspapers, including the Boston Globe, purchased in June 1993 :for $1.1 billion; :twelve magazines, including McCall's and Family Circle with circulations :of more than 5 million each; seven radio and TV broadcasting stations; a :cable-TV system; :and three book publishing companies. The New York Times News Service :transmits news stories, features, and photographs from the New York :Times by wire to :506 other newspapers, news agencies, and magazines. : :Of similar national importance is the Washington Post, which, by :establishing its "leaks" throughout government agencies in Washington, :has an inside track on news :involving the Federal government. : :The Washington Post, like the New York Times, had a non-Jewish origin. :It was established in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins, purchased from him in :1905 by John R. :McLean, and later inherited by Edward B. McLean. In June 1933, however, :at the height of the Great Depression, the newspaper was forced into :bankruptcy. It :was purchased at a bankruptcy auction by Eugene Meyer, a Jewish :financier and former partner of the infamous Bernard Baruch, the :industry czar in America :during the First World War. : :The Washington Post is now run by Katherine Meyer Graham, Eugene Meyer's :daughter. She is the principal stockholder and board chairman of the :Washington :Post Co. In 1979, she appointed her son Donald publisher of the paper. :He now also holds the posts of president and CEO of the Washington Post :Co. : :The Washington Post Co. has a number of other media holdings in :newspapers, television, and magazines, most notably the nation's :number-two weekly :newsmagazine, Newsweek. : :In a joint venture with the New York Times, the Post publishes the :International Herald Tribune, the most widely distributed English :language daily in the world. : :The Wall Street Journal, which sells 1.8 million copies each weekday, is :the nation's largest-circulation daily newspaper. It is owned by Dow :Jones & Company, :Inc., a New York corporation which also publishes 24 other daily :newspapers and the weekly financial tabloid Barron's, among other :things. The chairman and :CEO of Dow Jones is Peter R. Kann, who is a Jew. Kann also holds the :posts of chairman and publisher of the Wall Street Journal. : :Most of New York's other major newspapers are in no better hands than :the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. In January 1993, the New :York Daily :News was bought from the estate of the late Jewish media mogul Robert :Maxwell (born Ludvik Hoch) by Jewish real-estate developer Mortimer B. :Zukerman. :The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern, the :billionaire Jewish owner of the Hartz Mountain pet supply firm. : : Other Mass Media : :The story is pretty much the same for other media as it is for :television, radio and newspapers. Consider, for example, newsmagazines. :There are only three of any :note published in the United States: Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & :World Report. : :Time, with a weekly circulation of 4.1 million, is published by a :subsidiary of Time Warner Communications, the new media conglomerate :formed by the 1989 :merger of Time, Inc., with Warner Communications. The CEO of Time Warner :Communications, as mentioned above, is Gerald Levin, a Jew. : :Newsweek, as mentioned above, is published by the Washington Post :Company, under the Jewess Katherine Meyer Graham. Its weekly circulation :is 3.2 million. : :U.S. News & World Report, with a circulation of 2.3 million, is owned :and published by the aforementioned Mortimer B. Zuckerman, who has taken :the position :of editor-in-chief of the magazine for himself. Zuckerman also owns the :Atlantic Monthly and New York's tabloid newspaper, the Daily News, which :is the :sixth-largest paper in the country. : :Or consider books. There are literally thousands of publishers in the :United States, and among these thousands are many with little or no :direct Jewish control; there :are some which actually dare to publish books not approved by the Jewish :Establishment. But all of the latter publishers are very small, and :their books seldom :reach the great mass of Americans who buy their reading material from :drugstore news racks or from the chain bookstores. : :Among the giant publishing conglomerates, however, the situation is :quite kosher. Three of the six largest book publishers in the United :States, according to :Publisher's Weekly, are owned or controlled by Jews. The three are :first-place Random House (with its many subsidiaries, including Crown :Publishing Group), :third-place Simon & Shuster, and sixth-place Time Warner Trade Group :(including Warner Books and Little, Brown). : :As pointed out above, the Newhouse family owns Random House, and Gerald :Levin is CEO of Time Warner Communications, of which Time Warner Trade :Group is a division. Simon & Shuster is a subsidiary of Viacom, Inc., of :which the chairman and CEO is Sumner Redstone, as already noted. : :Another publisher of special significance is Western Publishing. :Although it ranks only 13th in size among all U.S. publishers, it ranks :first among publishers of :children's book, with more than 50 percent of the market. Its chairman :and CEO is Richard Snyder, a Jew, who just repla
