A Corridor For The Piggies
Corporate controlled media isn't anything new, but it's going to get worse.
We've got Clear Channel, who only has control of, like, nine percent of the media. And it appears that Nashville carries every nine percent of it's talk radio/news. Which, the news, of course, is considered "in-depth team coverage" that only seems to cover what Republican-Democrats want covered.
With the loosening of the FCC regulations on corporate controlled media, Clear Channel will be allowed to spread easily, reaching more states and cities. What I heard on C-Span, though, is that reporters who are wanting to do "real" stories are being held back by the corporations who own their station(s). You know, what serves the public is in the company's best interests, obviously.
With companies and corporations being able to spread more rapidly, you will soon start experiencing stories being omitted, slanted, or spun to suit their own needs.
The telecommunications act of, I believe, '96, allowed companies to own about thirty-five percent of the media. The bar will now be raised to forty-five percent.
One of the arguments to why this might be a good thing is that the local media will be able to stick around with piggies running the show. Since, you know, local media has to compete with the ever growing Cable industry.
Fuck it, I say.
If corporations are running the show, I ain't watching the commercials.
Didn't think you could believe what was in the news now?
Just wait.
If your town gets hit with anything that comes near to what is here in Tennessee, get ready.
It'll get worse before it gets better.
- A Corridor for the Piggies -
Well, the judge is in the bedroom
Dancing to the blues
While Nike's in the next room
Buying up the news
Go from middle class to poor
In just a single flash
Or suck the ass of aristocrats
Maybe some day
You'll own NBC
Almost no more free press patrol
You'll say what you're told
They - Hey!
Have maintained clit control
You like fingers for the facts?
And no teeth for their agenda
It's safe if you don't have to choose
No informed climax for you
Bow down!
To our mink coat information
Everything else!
Is just paranoid superstition
This is only!
A formal invitation
To a ....
... Police state incarceration
Deprive, deprive
And supervise
With superficial logic
New York Times and FOX
Have the same things
In common
Can't believe what I'm
Reading now
Can't believe what I'm
Hearing now
Now!!
No!!!
June second, 2003
Your station has been turned over
To our company
We've already got one
Now we're allowed two
How long do you think it'll be
Before we own three
Oh, this is so sweet..
On 1510 a little kid says,
"God Bless America"
This land of the free
Land of opportunity
Corporate news
Brings blind loyalty
The thought managers
Have found their audience
Even if it's by force
Bow down!
To our mink coat information
Everything else!
Is just paranoid superstition
This is only!
A formal invitation
To a ..
... Police state incarceration
~No!! Oh, no!
Kids, I remember when there was real news on the internet. I remember when I had access to thousands of international newspapers. Now what we've got is a damn farce. No matter what country's newspaper you read, it seems like there's some stupid assed kid in some fuckin' well.
Don't call your old man paranoid!!
Oh, here comes another one..... !!!
Take cover!!!!~
