The Great Exploitation Proliferation Chapter 28
I think it’s essential to revisit the meaning of exploitation for clarity and focus. The main focus is selfish utilization, public relations and advertising techniques. I’ve exploited what the media sales the American people and how the powers that be categorize facts to mass distribute mis-information. I’ve exploited crooks that are legal and illegal. I’ve exploited religions and customs of aristocratic traditions that educate the masses to succumb to elitist power. I’ve exploited good business and bad business to show who is exploiting who for profit.

I was privileged to watch a documentary entitled Outfoxed about Rupert Murdock’s Fox News network. The documentary exposed the propaganda being fed through the news network and is subtitled “the war on journalism.” The documentary is compelling because anyone that has watched Fox News knows that it’s far right-wing views is daily propagated in each segment. For example when the Bush administration was in office then it stood parallel to the views of the White House and the Republican Party. However, when President Barack Obama took office it became an anti-government president bashing outlet.
It also exposed the source of Rupert Murdock’s wealth and power. Rupert Murdock inherited a newspaper in 1954, and bought his 1st magazine, television station and record label by 1960. It stated that through the 60’s and 70’s he bought his 2nd TV station, 1st politician, airline and a publishing house in 1981. Today he is a mogul with an audience of 4.7 billion people world-wide: 9 satellite networks, 100 cable channels, 40 book imprints, 175 newspapers, 40 television stations and a movie studio. One man who can personally mass distribute his point of view to ¾ of the population is excessively “powerful” when it comes to money and influence. What it didn’t mention is how many politicians he has on payroll today. With such a strong-hold and filter on information can we really know who shot Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, JFK or other leaders in the 60’s? I’d say if certain powers that be forbad that information then we as commoners or peasants wouldn’t know anything “factually.”

The basic premise of the documentary is that when the media is controlled commentary instead of journalism then America ceases to be a democracy. I believe even the educated masses have to sift the trashy rubble of information to find facts and truths. This can only happen when we are not so sold out to one source of media. We literally have to read between the lines before we are outfoxed. Even the Holy Bible’s Song of Solomon expounds on this wisdom: Beware…beware of the little foxes that spoil the vine!
