These 15 Billionaires Own America's News Media Companies

[Doc1]

"Michael Bloomberg - Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Media

Michael Bloomberg, the richest billionaire in the media business, returned to his eponymous media company in September 2014, eight months after stepping down as mayor of New York City. One notable sign of his influence on the publication: Michael Bloomberg doesn't appear on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. FORBES pegs his net worth at $45.7 billion. Bloomberg cofounded his financial data company in 1981 with Charles Zegar and Thomas Secunda, both of whom are now billionaires as well thanks to their minority equity stakes in Bloomberg LP. The company expanded into business news coverage and has more than 2,000 reporters around the world. In 2009, Bloomberg LP bought Business Week magazine from McGraw Hill for a reported $5 million plus assumption of debt.

Donald and Samuel "Si" Newhouse - Advance Publications

Donald Newhouse and his brother Samuel "Si" Newhouse inherited Advance Publications, a privately-held media company that controls a plethora of newspapers, magazine, cable TV and entertainment assets, from their father. Advance owns newspapers in 25 cities and towns across America and is the country's largest privately-held newspaper chain. Conde Nast, a unit of Advance Publications, publishes magazines including Wired, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Vogue. Si stepped down as chairman of Conde Nast in 2015.

Cox Family - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Cox Enterprises , owned by the billionaire Cox family, counts The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and a number of other daily papers among its many media investments. James Cox, the company founder and grandfather of current chairman Jim Kennedy, bought his first newspaper, the Dayton Ohio Evening News, in 1898. The Cox Media Group Division today owns the Journal-Constitution and six other daily newspapers, more than a dozen non-daily publications, 14 broadcast television stations, one local cable channel and 59 radio stations.

Jeff Bezos - The Washington Post

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post for $250 million in 2013. Since beginning his run for president, Trump has accused Bezos of using the Post to get tax breaks for Amazon and sending reporters after Trump. Bezos denied the allegations at a tech conference at the Washington Post in May. The Post's reporters also defended themselves, saying that the paper has covered Amazon's tax problems and that the Post's editorial board's stance on taxing online retailers hasn't changed since Bezos bought the paper.

They are all successful. You have to admire them.

Class warfare against the rich used to be an exclusively left-wing thing.

It's only been in the last few years that resentment against the rich has become a grievance on the right.

The leftists are champions of these folks and other elite snobs.

Right wing class warriors only hate rich people who use their excess wealth to make the world a better place.

Why do right wing info-graphics look like they were made on a twenty year-old computer?

 

[Eaglewings]

Millions have been spent on how to motivate a human brain to buy, vote for or continue to watch... every freaking thing we see on TV , stores, ads, magazines is a trigger.
These news stations keep you watching somehow , because if it were just the 7 long minutes of commercials we would turn off the TV..

This is why Reality and Shocking TV does so well..They have to make the news like that too..

To say that it is one side of politics doing this is so stupid and ignorant.
They all have their hands in there to find better ways to scam us and make $$$$$

You picked an chose a very limited number of owners. a fuller list would have shown a more interesting trend.

Those 15 own most of the outlets, really no need to post others but hey feel free if you want to. Those 15 own 90%.

Doc1. Comcast is the largest broadcast and cable TV company in the world. would say that its owners & stock holders are in general more liberal (soros owns stock) but money comes 1st, they want to close equality on the net for more profit. (not good for the general public.)
Clear Channel is the largest radio station owner. they would like to only air conservative view points (not good for the general public) but cant because it would cut money flow. so if you have enough money you can buy the government with your lobby, and large parts of the public with one sided points of view repeated endlessly. the bottom line is more money equals more control, more control equals more money.

 

[sartre play]

PS, and you could be right about the 15 people, control just keeps getting tighter.

 

[BluesLegend]

Only a mindless drone would drink their fake news koolaid.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

I don't care much for the obvious left slant to most news but its better than the Government running the show.

My entire point. We only hear what they want us to hear. I'll differ with you on one pint, they aren't Liberal or Conservative. They are two sides of the same coin used for two things, division and entertainment. That's it.

From what I can tell, 5 of 15 families are Jewish. I'd say they lost some ground here. A lot of the old time Jewish people started in the newspaper business. I know one personally. Actually, his father and then him. He's pushing 90 yrs. While some of these Jews are dangerous because of the trash and propaganda they promote, as are many of the other media hounds, he wouldn't be one of them. That and he's no longer in the media business anyway. He's an American traditionalist. The guy produced quite a few shows during the 70s-80s. Most very wholesome and traditional, and one was second to none. Anyway, here are the media billionaires.

Bloomberg: Jewish

Murdoch: Not Jewish

Newhouse: Jewish

Cox: Not Jewish

Bezos: Not Jewish

Henry: Not Jewish

Adelson: Jewish, and incidentally, Republican

Mansueto: Not Jewish

Zuckerman: Jewish

Hubbard: Not Jewish

Barbey: Not Jewish

Shiong: Not Jewish

Helu: Not Jewish

Vekselberg: Jewish

Buffet: Not Jewish
