Is TV mind control did the "liberal media" get Obama elected ?

OK --- lets go with that

Is TV mind control ?

If so who owns the majority of the TV stations ? How much does it cost to buy one and how many people could afford that ?

How many people own the entire US media structure ?

Does the corporate structure allow for freedom in the media ? Or does the corporate structure believe in government from the top down and all articles stories and opinions must match corporate policy ?

Is one political party or one religion or one attitude dominant within the group of owners of the mass media ? If so which ones are they and is that a proportionate representation of the population in general ?

Is opposition managed or are fair fights and debates allowed even if they disagree with the owner(s) views ?

--------------------

Is TV mind control did the "liberal media" get Obama elected ???

If the owners of a corporation ( media) can make or break a President and or his policies --- How can the President be considered independent from the media owners ?

How much of a relationship exists between the media and Presidents as TV expanded ?

Did the nations people get TV in or about the 1950's ? When did colour TV come about ?

How has the media impacted the President and other political offices since the invention and mass distribution of TV ?

Is TV mind control did the "liberal media" get Obama elected ???

Update:

*******

What if the "Beer hall push" was televised ? If Germans ( who were neither stupid or evil) were fooled by such a personal tactic by a few people in a pub -- how would the same tactics appear on mass media and would you be smart enough to see through them ?

The beer hall push was used in the 30's --- and TV has been in the homes of the masses since the 50's

How many generations have grown up knowing the TV as the ONLY source of information

If an insane paper hanger from Austria could do it in the 30's how easy would it be for a billionaire with a TV empire do it --- and are we living in the creation of a billionaires society created by illusions in our living rooms ?

When the "right wing" yell liberal media do they have any idea what they are saying and if so what stops them from asking the VERY relevant questions that should follow

Who what when why and how ... ? What stops the people from asking

Is TV mind control did the "liberal media" get Obama elected ?

    All the media outlets in America are owned by 5 or 6 major media moguls. To say what we see on TV isn't propaganda is ignorant. They all meet behind closed doors with members of the government at meetings like Bilderberg.

    Here's a chart:

    The owners of most TV stations are Conservatives like Rupert Murdoch.

    Sorry, but your theory is completely wrong. I voted for Obama and I don't even have a TV.

    If the networks have a bias towards anything, it's what makes them the most money.

    Most of those large corporations donate mostly to Democrats:

    Geez, maybe if you repeat it enough times we'll believe it?

    Did Fox news get Bush elected? Does everyone believe everything they hear?

    I think conservatives are just looking for an excuse for conservative failures.

    palin was nothing more than a media distraction...it took the camera's off of war mongerer, patriot act voting biden and allowed obama (the so called anti war candidate) to be elected.

    No. Media coverage and even campaigns have a fairly small impact on who people vote for.
