The following video documentary exposes the mass media as an orchestrated, managed, propaganda machine -- in other words it has become a thoroughly corrupted medium serving a tiny minority that clearly does not have the best interests of society at heart.
Interviews with highly respected academics and analysts are featured in the doco; they include such luminaries as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Michael Parenti.
The video is a balanced, in depth historical view of the forces that shaped the mass media into what it is today -- it is highly recommended viewing.
