Canada's largest media corporation (Postmedia, whose flagship National Post religiously champions Conservatives, Israel and de-funding CBC) last year further tightened its ideological grip by merging the editorial desks of hitherto competing newspapers, even though its purchase of Quebecor's Sun chain was approved by the Competition Bureau on the condition they be kept separate.

 
Six corporations invested in the military complex control 90% of what Americans watch. They unsurprisingly peddle a self-serving narrative, whether WMD lies in 2003 to invade Iraq, an ongoing pro-Israel slant to justify its occupation or the pre-election cheerleading for war hawk Hillary Clinton (only because Trump was seen as too much of a loose cannon).


Fascism is the fusion of corporate and state power, crowned by media concentration. While recklessly flinging that term about is irresponsible, recognizing its traits is not.
