WHO CONTROLS THE MEDIA
|
|
|
|
|
|
What do Arnaud de Borchgrave, editor-in-cheif of the
|
|
"conservative" Washington Times, and Max Frankel, top dog at the
|
|
"liberal" New York Times, have in common?
|
|
At least one thing, at any rate; Both are members of the
|
|
Rockefeller family's private and secretive international
|
|
pressure group known as the Council on Foreigh Relations (CFR).
|
|
De Borchgrave and Frankel join a long list of powerful media
|
|
personalities, who are members of the CFR and/or of the
|
|
Trilaterial Commission (TC), another Rockefeller family front
|
|
group that plays a major role in shaping U.S. foriegn policy.
|
|
Rockefeller influence on the media is immense, particularly
|
|
on the major television networks. In fact, according to
|
|
researcher Peter Borsnan, the Rockefeller family's Chase
|
|
Manhatan Bank ( and the other Rockefeller institutions)are among
|
|
the largest holders of network stock, with substancial interests
|
|
in all three networks.
|
|
Chase Manhattan controls fully 14 percent of CBS stock. Stock
|
|
analysts note that with stock widely distributed among
|
|
shareholders, institutions can weild influence or outright
|
|
control with 5 percent, sometimes as little as 1 or 2 percent,
|
|
equity.
|
|
The accompanying chart shows some of the major media figures
|
|
(aapast and present)--editors, reporters, corporate directors,
|
|
and others--who belong or have belonged to the CFR and the TC.
