The National Geographic Magazine has been in my home since I
was a little kid and that was a long time ago.
Not anymore!
There wasn’t much fanfare about it, but a week or so ago it
was sold for $725 million dollars to 21st Century Fox.
AKA: Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.
It’s bad enough that Murdoch controls so much of the media
worldwide, television, radio, newspapers, and publishing, but now National
Geographic.
Murdoch’s media empire manages information. It tells you
what it wants you to know and how you should think about it.
Am I the only one worried about this? I shouldn’t be the
only one. There should be outrage and serious concern that one man has this
much accumulated power and that so many people believe Fox News is fair and
balanced.
