7. Why do people say that ‘the Jews’ control the media? They don’t.
________________________________________________________

It is almost impossible to be both alive and in the West and not have heard the allegation that “the Jews control the media.” Do they?

You should already be suspicious of this claim. After all, we’ve seen that the Western mass media loves liars who, denying history, represent the Israeli Jews in a bad light, and their genocidal enemies in a good light. The same Western mass media neglects to tell us that these liars were in the business of training terrorists. So in order to believe that those controlling the media are ‘the Jews’ you have to defend the absurdity that ‘the Jews’ are so eager to commit suicide that they go out of their way to cover up for liars who attack them and who could easily be exposed, turning them into darlings of the media infrastructure they control.

Absurdities are best avoided. In this case, however, it is even better to refute them, over and over again.

This is a publicly traded company, so it is owned by the stockholders, not by ‘the Jews.’ In any case, companies are run by their CEO’s. The CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of this company for many years was Jack Welch who, as The New Yorker informs me, is “the grandson of Irish immigrants… [H]is mother, Grace, [was] a strict Roman Catholic…”[1] And this religious orientation apparently lingered, because the Toronto Star says that “Welch [is] a devout Catholic.”[2] Whatever else that may mean, it certainly means that Welch is not Jewish.

The current CEO at General Electric is one Jeffrey Immelt, whose last name is German. USA Today reports that he is a “Presbyterian.”[3] Whatever else that may mean, it means that Jeffrey Immelt is not Jewish.

This is already a lot of media that is -- and has been -- controlled by non-Jews.

General Electric owns NBC/Universal Television Studio, and NBC/Universal Television and Universal Pictures, and 30% of Paxson Communications.

It also owns the following NBC stations: WNBC (New York), KNBC (Los Angeles), WMAQ (Chicago), WCAU (Philadelphia), KNTV (San Jose/San Francisco), KXAS (Dallas/Fort Worth), WRC (Washington), WTVJ (Miami), KNSD (San Diego), WVIT (Hartford), WNCN (Raleigh), WCMH (Columbus), WVTM (Birmingham), WJAR (Providence).

In addition, GE owns the following: Telemundo Stations: KVEA/KWHY (Los Angeles), WNJU (New York), WSCV (Miami), KTMD (Houston), WSNS (Chicago), KXTX (Dallas/Fort Worth), KVDA (San Antonio), KSTS (San Jose/San Francisco), KDRX (Phoenix), KNSO (Fresno), KMAS (Denver), WNEU (Boston/Merrimack), KHRR (Tucson), and WKAQ (Puerto Rico).

And, finally, GE owns the following channels: CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, Mun2TV, Sci-Fi, Trio, and USA.[4]

As mentioned above, these days GE owns Universal. Taking a look at how GE ended up with this company is instructive because Edgar Bronfman Jr., who is Jewish, was trying to get this company, but couldn’t. There is a lesson in that.

The Los Angeles Times explains that “Edgar Bronfman Jr. wanted to be a media mogul,” and so badly that he “orchestrated the sale of his family’s company [Seagram]...to finance his dream of a global media empire built around Universal Studios….”[5] To see what Bronfman was willing to risk to become a media mogul, consider only that “the expensive Hollywood gamble cost the Bronfmans Universal, their liquor business, and a good portion of their multibillion-dollar fortune.”

But despite Bronfman’s unrivaled passion to become a media mogul, it was simply not to be. After buying Universal from gentiles (Matsushita, a Japanese company), he had to sell it to Vivendi, also run by gentiles, less than a year later, holding it for about as long as a rugby player holds a ball. When he tried to get Universal back, no matter what he offered, Bronfman couldn’t, as we shall see.

It was Jean-Marie Messier who presided as CEO of Vivendi when this company acquired Universal from Edgar Bronfman. This Messier had been buying up a lot of stuff, and lots of articles have been written to explain the troubles at Vivendi as resulting from Messier’s “acquisition spree,” which overextended the company. But in a Slate article dated 6 August 2003 Messier himself alleged that Vivendi-Universal didn’t work out for a different reason: “According to Messier, the clannish Jews in Hollywood had it in for the gentile [i.e. non-Jewish] Frenchman.”[6] Whatever else that means, it means that Jean-Marie Messier is not Jewish.

And Messier was replaced in 2002 by Jean-Rene Fourtou, whose name appears to indicate that he isn't Jewish either.

Now, the current CEO of Vivendi is Jean-Bernard Lévy, whose name does appear Jewish. However, it turns out that the man who really calls the shots, anyway, as the New York Times explained in 2003, is Claude Bébéar, who is considered by many “a sinister ‘godfather’ of old-style crony capitalism” and who is described as “a practicing Roman Catholic.”[7] Whatever else that means, it means that Claude Bébéar is not Jewish.

Bébéar has so much power that he decides who gets to be CEO at Vivendi, as the New York Times explained in the same article:

“In 1991, [Bébéar] stormed the United States with a $1 billion investment in the Equitable Life Assurance group, a business he later turned into an AXA unit. That gave him credibility in international finance and helped him install Mr. Fourtou last year as Vivendi’s chairman, to replace Jean-Marie Messier, who was ousted after Vivendi was crushed by debt from an acquisition spree that involved big American deals.”

Three years after selling his beloved media empire to Vivendi, Edgar Bronfman Jr. put together “a desperate bid to regain Universal” when Vivendi, chafing under Messier's “acquisition spree,” announced that it would sell Universal. Other competitors backed out when Bronfman outbid them all. But despite all this, the man whom “practicing Catholic” Claude Bébéar installed at Vivendi to correct Messier's “acquisition spree,” Jean-Rene Fourtou, still sold Universal to somebody else: to non-Jews: to General Electric.

“[Bronfman] cast himself in the self-described role of ‘lion tamer’ to a group of unruly private investors, pulling them together long enough to tender a $13-billion bid to buy back his Universal empire. . . .by September, when Vivendi chairman Jean-Rene Fourtou promised to name a winner, it looked as though Bronfman might have triumphed. Up to that point, every Hollywood high-roller...had dropped out of the bidding for Universal. . . Their reasons were simple: Vivendi wanted too much money.

But Bronfman. . .had a score to settle, as well as a fundamental belief in Universal’s intrinsic value. The studio might not currently be worth the $14 billion Vivendi was demanding, but Bronfman thought the asking price was close enough that he meant to stay in the game to the end.

Then, on the morning after Labor Day, when Bronfman prepared to bask in the limelight as the once and future mayor of Universal City, Vivendi’s Fourtou announced the $14-billion NBC deal [that is, with NBC's parent company, General Electric].”[8]

If “Bronfman. . .had a score to settle. . .[and]. . .meant to stay in the game to the end,” it was obviously easier to wring an extra billion or two from Bronfman than from anybody else. He was passionate about getting the company back and would have gone higher if asked to. But he was not asked to! Vivendi sold Universal to GE even though GE offered not one penny more than Vivendi’s asking price.

If this evidence belongs in any column, it is this one: ‘how miserably Jews do when they try to become media moguls.’ Or perhaps in this column: ‘how rich gentiles discriminate against rich Jews in the buying and selling of big media.’ But it certainly does not count as evidence that ‘the Jews’ have much influence in the mass media.

And let us ask, anyway: What kind of representation might Edgar Bronfman’s media empire have given to the Arab-Israeli conflict if he had succeeded in building it?

It turns out that Bronfman is a high-profile anti-Israel operative. In the early years of the Reagan administration, he lent his name to various diplomatic attacks against Israel, and in 1985 he was the leader of an attempt to maneuver behind Israel’s back and saddle it with a terrorist PLO state next door. Bronfman is a citizen of the US, not Israel, and Israeli patriots repudiated him.[9]

So even if Edgar Bronfman, who is Jewish, had succeeded in creating a media empire, we have every reason to expect that this media empire would have attacked Israel.

Now let’s consider Time-Warner (formerly called AOL-Time-Warner, when AOL was still an admired company). In January 2003 the Washington Post reported as follows:

“The announcement Sunday that Steve Case will yield the company chairmanship in May leaves [Richard D.] Parsons alone at the top of the world’s largest media company [Time-Warner].”[10]

The notice for Parsons’ mother’s death, in the New York Times, states that “A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 16. at 10am at New Hope Lutheran Church.”[11] Whatever else that means, it means that Richard D. Parsons is not Jewish. So “the world’s largest media company” is run by a non-Jew.

Steve Case, the man who ran AOL-Time-Warner before Parsons got the job, celebrated mass at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral after his brother Dan died.[12] Whatever else that means, it means that Steve Case is not Jewish.

It is true that the CEO at Time-Warner in the period 1992 to 2002 was Gerald Levin, who is Jewish. But that’s over now. And it is worth pointing out that during Levin’s tenure Time-Warner did not have a pro-Jewish line. On the contrary. Consider only that CNN was acquired by Time-Warner in 1996, during Levin’s tenure, and CNN is Time-Warner’s major TV news operation. Vincent Cannistraro was appearing constantly on CNN when Levin acquired it (more than once a month in 1994!).[13] But after CNN became part of Time-Warner, CNN did not expose Cannistraro as a terrorist -- on the contrary, he continued to appear on CNN as a trusty counter-terrorism ‘expert.’ And in 2001, with Gerald Levin still presiding as CEO, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer referred to Vincent Cannistraro’s Washington Post editorial defending the human rights of those who murder innocent Israeli children in order to make his own anti-Israel attack.[14]

Moving on, I have heard it said that Rupert Murdoch is supposedly Jewish, but this is because “Murdoch’s mother is frequently mis-reported to be Jewish -- although this is not the case.”[15] Now, if Murdoch’s mother is not Jewish, I wonder why she is “frequently mis-reported to be Jewish…”? Could it have anything to do with the fact that Rupert Murdoch presides over “one of the world’s largest and most influential media corporations”? In any case, as the same source informs me, “Rupert’s father was the son of a Presbyterian minister from Scotland.” Whatever else that means, it means that Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish.

As in the case of Murdoch’s mother, Murdoch’s media is also frequently mis-reported to be pro-Jewish. To see that this is false, consider only that FOX TV is part of Murdoch’s media empire. This TV company has had Vincent Cannistraro as an interview guest, dressing him up as a ‘counter-terrorism’ expert,[16] and it has used him as a supposedly authoritative source on multiple occasions.[17] It has also interviewed Raymond McGovern as a representative of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS).[18]

Does FOX TV have a pro-Israel bent, as has been alleged? I have a pro-Israel bent, which is why I have taken the trouble to document whether or not Vincent Cannistraro and Ray McGovern, who are prominently on display attacking Israel, can be believed. Why doesn’t FOX TV do this? It is incredibly easy to do. If FOX TV is really competing with the other media outlets, and if they are pro-Israel, why aren’t they demonstrating to their viewers that one cannot trust Vincent Cannistraro and Raymond McGovern, prominent enemies of Israel? This would simultaneously advance FOX’s supposedly pro-Israel bent and would demonstrate the inferiority of their media competition, which has been pushing Cannistraro and McGovern as ‘experts’ you can trust (see here, and here). Instead, FOX TV helps burnish Cannistraro’s and McGovern’s images as supposed ‘experts,’ like everybody else.

Of course, many Jews are employed in the mass media, and they are overrepresented. But Jews are overrepresented in all the professions, because they have always been the literate culture par excellence, and whenever given the opportunities they do their best to get a quality education. The only point that matters here is that, however many Jews may be employed in the mass media, those who control the media do not allow Israel -- the Jewish state -- to be defended, and instead they work overtime to attack this country with lies.

With the exception of Gerald Levin’s 10-year stint as CEO of Time-Warner, so far we have seen the following powerful news media controllers: Jack Welch, Catholic; the mighty godfather who really calls the shots at Vivendi (and at many other places), Claude Bébéar, another Catholic; and Steve Case, who’s also Catholic. Then we have Jeffrey Immelt, Presbyterian; and Rupert Murdoch, another Presbyterian. Richard D. Parsons is a Lutheran. All Christians!

It is a historical fact that the Christian gospels slander ‘the Jews’ with the false accusation that they killed God (see Part 1 of this series). It is a historical fact that Christians have long persecuted Jews in the West (see Part 1 of this series). And it is a fact documented in the above that the media is anti-Jewish (see Parts 2 through 5 of this series). Finally, we have seen that the US government acquiesces in the media attacks against Israel when it could easily counter them (see Part 6 of this series). And yet, somehow, the rumor is not about a Christian conspiracy to attack the Jewish people -- despite the fact that, as you now clearly see, ‘the Christians’ control the mass media.
