Bank connections to the MSM

[rpwi]

I think what many people don't realize is how interconnected the banking industry is with MSM. The is important for a number of reasons... Ron wants to end the FED. The mega-banks ABSOLUTELY don't want this to happen as they need the Fed to prop up their business model. Therefore it's logical to assume what the mega-banks don't want, the MSM doesn't want. Notice that Newt got raked over the coals from the MSM after he brought up the idea of reviewing a gold standard in the first Florida debate? Coincidence? I think not. Yes...Newt's a buffoon...but the MSM could have been taking more serious shots at him a lot sooner.

What's interesting in the MSM is that they have board of directors that sit on both the MSM company's board and other companies (including banks). Obviously a conflict of interest. Below are just the examples, I could find mostly from: (somewhat incomplete and out-of-date)

ABC/Disney shares directors with:

City National Bank

NBC/GE:

Banco Nacional de Mexico
Chase Manhattan
Morgan Gauranty Trust
New York Stock Exchange (not a bank but super connected with the banks)
State Street Bank and Trust

CBS/Viacom:

American Express
Bank One
Bear Sterns Companies (used to be)
Chase Manhattan
Credit Suisse First Boston Corp.
Morgan Chase & Co.
MBIA
New York Stock Exchange

CNN/TimeWarner:

American Express
Citigroup
Fannie Mae
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
New York Stock Exchange

Fox/News Corp:

Allen & Company
New York Stock Exchange
Rothschild Investment

Newspapers are pretty much in the same boat as you can see by clicking the website above. Now this doesn't even count the executives that have ties to the banking industry, stocks that influential people in MSM have in the banks and the dependency the MSM's parent corporations have on banks for short term capital. Scary stuff.

Good post. One really doesn't need to wonder why the media treats us so badly when they understand who owns and runs them. More interesting connections at the link. The media will NEVER be on our side.

We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
-David Rockefeller (CFR member), founder of the sister organization - Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

As I always say: Follow the money. Once you see who sings the checks, deducing that the media is in fact a corporate media propaganda machine, very similar to Hitler's Nazi propaganda machine, should be pretty straight forward.

1917: J.P. Morgan bought US corporate media

Congressman Oscar Callaway lost his Congressional election for opposing US entry into WW 1. Before he left office, he demanded investigation into JP Morgan & Co for purchasing control over America’s leading 25 newspapers in order to propagandize US public opinion in favor of his corporate and banking interests, including profits from US participation in the war. Mr. Callaway alleged he had the evidence to prove Morgan associates were working as editors to select and edit articles, with the press receiving monthly payments for their allegiance to Morgan.

One of the leading papers, The New York Times, printed the story of Congressman Callaway’s call for investigation from Washington, D.C., but the editor chose a curious obfuscating headline:

FOR PRESS INVESTIGATION

Moore Asks Inquiry Into Charges

on Preparedness Campaign.

The US eventually followed “opinion leaders” into the war, despite no national security risk from the sinking of a British ship (Lusitania) carrying over four million rounds of ammunition to kill Germans, and Germany’s offer to Mexico to attack the US with an empty promise of German help if, and only if, the US declared war on Germany first (Zimmermann telegram; Mexico rejected the offer immediately as a military impossibility and a ploy for Americans to busy themselves killing Mexicans instead of Germans). The US then imprisoned people who questioned the war, including US candidates for President.

Both my grandfathers risked their lives in the American Expeditionary Force, as did your relatives, in a war media-fed to the public with lies of commission and omission.

Congressman Callaway joined Congressman Abraham Lincoln in being deposed from Congress for challenging lying war rhetoric and being branded as “unpatriotic.”

I found no follow-up report of Mr. Callaway’s request for investigation. However, we have abundant evidence that US corporate media is controlled for propaganda in our world of the present to cover-up the US’ history of unlawful wars. Consider this as one example:

The Church Senate Committee hearings had the cooperation of CIA Director William Colby’s testimony that over 400 CIA operatives were controlling US corporate media reporting on specific issues of national interest in what they called Operation Mockingbird. This stunning testimony was then confirmed by Pulitzer Prize reporter Carl Bernstein’s research and reporting. Of course, corporate media refused to publish Bernstein’s article and it became the cover-story for Rolling Stone.
