Mainstream media in the US is consolidated to such a point there are now 6 gigantic corporations that control 90% of the American TV and radio media stations.

The consumer is fed the illusion of choice, but there are a small handful of elite individuals now dictating what you allowed to see, hear, read and, ultimately, think.

Beware!

The mainstream media consolidation now has a stranglehold on information and is threatening our ability to know the truth.

Below are the 6 mainstream media mega-corporations, and the affiliated companies and brands they own.
