Businesses that report on scarce occurrences of interest to the public, such as elections, airplane crashes, stock market fluctuations and sporting events. It is generally a term used to refer to methods of communicating to the general public, whether the communicated information is factual or opinion-based. Common media include newspapers, TV and radio. The U.S. media landscape is dominated by massive corporations that, through a history of mergers and acquisitions, have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these giant companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution; the concentration of media ownership isn’t just a problem in the U.S. it’s happening worldwide.
The media has expended to include various sources of alternative media including websites and blogs, YouTube channels, etc. The freedom of press is an important antidote to government corruption and other shenanigans, but this freedom can also be abused. It only takes a small amount of misreporting by the media to create a myth that will require years to rectify.
The Media Research Center released a study in 2008 reporting pro-atheism bias by major press outlets in the U.S. The study found that 80% of mainstream media coverage of atheism was positive and that 71% of Christian-themed stories had an atheist counterpoint or were written from an atheist perspective. The study is not surprising given the liberal bias that commonly exists in the major media outlets.1
Western civilization at the present day is passing through a crisis which is essentially different from anything that has been previously experienced. Other societies in the past have changed their social institutions or their religious beliefs under the influence of external forces or the slow development of internal growth.

Dinshah Ghadiali was a gifted scientist who developed and used with great success what he called Spectro-Chrome Therapy ("SCT"). It was simply subjecting people to light waves. In certain respects, it was little different from Royal Rife's therapy. As soon as Morris Fishbein became editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1924 he attacked Ghadiali and SCT in the January 24, 1924 edition ...
“The study and description of this part of the collection was assigned by Professor [Henry Fairfield] Osborn to the writers, and its results appear in the following pages… The anterior molars and premolars of this genus of peccaries show a startling resemblance to the teeth of Anthropoidea, and might well be mistaken for them by anyone not familiar with the dentition of Miocene peccaries.”– W.

Americans woke up to discover just how little their own government regarded the cherished Bill of Rights. During the night, some 4,000 of their fellow citizens were rounded up and jailed for what amounted, in most cases, to no good reason at all and no due process, either. Welcome to the story of the Palmer Raids, named for their instigator, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. Though largely ...

Lillian Scott Troy, a courageous American suffragette and investigative journalist living in London, was kicked out of Britain because she focused her investigations on the evident corruption and treason of Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan and the Anglo-American (British) Pilgrims Society which she (and many at the time) saw as undermining the sovereignty of the American Republic. She smelled a rat and said so, in newsprint ...
In May 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the allied forces discovered a copy of these ‘Rules.’ They were first printed in the United States in the ‘Bartlesville (Oklahoma) Examiner-Enterprise’ the same year, 1919. Almost 20 years later, in 1946, the attorney general of Florida obtained them from a known member of the Communist Party, who acknowledged that the ‘Rules’ were then still a part of the Communist ...
Rosa Luxemberg’s revolutionaries infiltrated into the German High Seas fleet, becoming very active in 1918. They spread rumors that the ships, and their crews, were to be sacrificed in an all out battle with the combined British and American navies. The rumor-mongers stated that the purpose of the battle was to cripple the combined allied fleets to such an extent they would be unable to defend ...

Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press ...
On Oct 12, 1915, Edith Cavell, 50, a British nurse and head of a teaching hospital in Belgium, was shot by a German firing squad.

Normally her crime was punished by three months imprisonment. Why was ...
