"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman

Implying that's where his information originated.
The beauty of the counting mechanism involved, is that you can pick whatever minority you want, and show that they 'control the media'. Utter rubbish to anyone but the logically challenged.
I get paid to do that.

Name a few. Are that close to the whole list, or just a sample?
I'll be fair and say that they're overrepresented compared to their population, but that's because they're very few in total. Having a few % of the media doesn't make you influential, in particular if your political opinions are all over the place (Robert Aschberg is a strong leftie, while Peter Wolodarski is a Swedish liberal, for two of the more influencial that I know of).
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

This thread isn't really about that though...
But last I checked, the biggest media had jews in control positions... Schibstedt as you mentioned had a jew as, not owner, but acting chief as an example. Was some years ago I cared about that though, have no idea how it looks now.
But yeah, when I checked last, the list of media with jews in control positions was rather scary...![]()

Hitler had the majority control the media, how well did that turn out!?!?!?!?
Godwin aside, wouldn't one expect the typical jewish media mogul to have a problem with muslim immigrants and the muslim immigrants to complain about the jews controlling the media? And would that not both make them fit the stereotypes many have of them and make them your allies in the argument against the other group respectively? And wouldn't that be weird or is that just me thinking so?
Oh and what if they don't mind eachother?

You don't find it bad enough that a minority control the majority of media? I mean, do we really have to take the discussion further than that?
I've heard other reasonings as to why it's bad... But I'm no expert on it, heck, I'm not even interested.
Let's turn it around, why SHOULD a religious minority control the absolute majority of conventional media in a secular country?
I mean, the obvious thing would be that media portrays the lay of the land. Why do you advocate something else?![]()
