By fact checking accounts, this is paraphrasing and not a direct quote. However, it was a message that he was very outspoken on.

"There will come a time when the rich own all of the media and it will be impossible for the public to make an informed opinion."

This is coming from 1949. He certainly called that right. Even if there was regulation on the media, it wouldn't help. The Democrats are a part of it. The Republicans would be too, given the opportunity. It is a shame when the public, those of us who care to do it anyway, have to dig for the truth.

Regardless of who said what, we are living it today. Joy Reid should be sued for slander if not charged with incitement. I don't watch the show but read her comments when published by other media outlets. It is the same with Behar. The woman is nothing more than a paid propagandist participating in hate speech.

Also in 1949 George Orwell wrote "1984"....

His message about the media was:



The media, such as they still are, are totally under the control of the Party and used as conduits for propaganda or to keep the Proles distracted with trivia.

It's unfortunate that we live in this great big beautiful world that is completely dominated by these crooked politicians and ALL of the corrupt media organizations....

24 hours a day, every day of the year it's wall to wall politics......All they do is destroy this world for their own personal power.....In the end they won't last....

Btw,

It was around this time that the "media" and "educational systems" started promoting FDR as this "Great President" because he got us "through the depression and WW2" supposedly....

But in reality FDR was a Socialist who greatly expanded the Federal Government and greatly took away powers of the State.....In fact I would call FDR a murderous, racist, treasonous Communist who used the media for power.....But that is just my opinion..

I remember when the Roosevelt dimes were starting to outnumber the Mercury dimes in circulation. My mom said "every time is see the new dime, I see the face of the great American destroyer." At the time, I thought her opinion was pretty extreme. Extreme or not, she lived through it and she was right.

Your mom was right....

FDR, Wilson, Obama and LBJ were the worst Presidents in American History....Until Biden came along.....

Notice that Between Wilson, FDR and LBJ we got WW1, WW2 And Vietnam......With Biden we will get WW3 because he is there another 6 months...

In all fairness though, it is really Obama doing all the damage to this country and not really Biden...

I believe Obama is a "useful idiot" puppet--not a puppet master.
