In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of American media. Today, it's just 6. Ever wonder who really decides what you see, hear, and read? This documentary breaks down the shocking truth about media ownership and the history of media consolidation that has concentrated immense power into the hands of a few.
We pull back the curtain on the machinery of influence, tracing its roots from the "yellow journalism" of William Randolph Hearst to the modern-day propaganda tactics of Sinclair Broadcasting. We investigate the documented history of the CIA's Operation Mockingbird, the disastrous impact of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, and the billion-dollar lies revealed in the Fox News Dominion settlement.
This isn't a conspiracy theory it's a documented history of how corporate and political power has shaped the information ecosystem.
