Investigate the extent of mainstream media apathy, incompetence and outright suppression of the glaring emergency against our consumer rights posed by corporate fraud. This ongoing subversion of the facts by corporate controlled media we can expect even more in 2010 and 2011 as these corporations try to reinforce the status quo. To maintain the status quo is to keep the things the way they presently are. The related phrase status quo ante, literally “the state in which before”, means “the state of affairs that existed previously”.

Media news suppression is a relatively new observable fact resulting from the extent of corporate affiliations in and out of the boardroom. These affiliations are not based on real news reporting, but in fact, reporting or suppressing stories in their own best interest. This suppression is manipulated not to release this news so share price can increase for one or more of these connections. After all the media is a business, a business with their own stock portfolio. So why not do stories that will benefit that portfolio and release bad news about the portfolios competitors. The CEO and news that relates to this person is also like a portfolio any bad news will impact the stock price of the corporation and raise stock prices for their competitors.

The ability to instantly email press releases to hundreds of syndicated outlets, the increased speed at which press releases and news data are compiled and released, the confusing nature of collecting real verified data, and possibly of internalized bias within media organizations leads to only what the corporation wants to be covered. No longer is there Independent news reporting only press release duplication.

This internalized bias once again is based on advertising dollars gained in their newspaper, magazine or website. These dollars may be gained or lost by not covering the news in the best interest of the corporation sometime in the future.

This modus operandi is fixed in newspapers, radio, television, Internet and recently, mobile telephones. All claim to provide a benefit of information, education and healthy fair debate. As a matter of fact, these corporations are using well-developed and established psychological techniques and persuasion to sway and manipulate public opinion to their own agenda, or just turning the public mind off of bad press through distraction or story suppression.

Behind the suppression of our consumer rights by corporations and the media they partner with are the companies run by a small number of proprietors. Six large conglomerates own just about every news and entertainment outlet in America. Possibly a new World Order where you and I will only be allowed to be spoon-fed specialized news stories benefiting a stock portfolio only what they want.

Media companies have substantial influence on world politics (Consumerism) and you and I know that war and suffering sell a ‘good story’, these stories are backed with information by only three sources, United Press International, Reuters and “Friends of the Corporation”.

As a result, media has become a corporate tool to fallaciously report news, numb consumer rights, distract the masses, brainwash thought, dumb-down interests, spread propaganda and ignore alternative truths.
