Jotun

Ever get tired of seeing the same, stupid shit on television? I sure did, which is why I don't watch commercial TV much at all anymore. If I ever do, it's usually because I'm at someone's house and that's what they feel like doing. There are reasons why TV is like this. The few media giants who control commercial television don't own one station or channel, they just own several with different names. These Jotun of the industry, such as Rupert Murdock or Viacom, devour smaller companies and smash diversity in order to make more cash (this doesn't even need to be said, really). How are these few companies not monopolies? How do they get away with saying they're not responsible for the content they put out there? I mean, I hate censorship, don't get me wrong. But publishing lies and opinions as news media is pretty criminal (for SHAME, Rupert! tsk tsk!).
Here I was thinking that entertainment TV was picked up by different entities and was the same because the majority of people were just stupid. Now I see that while the majority of people ARE stupid, the few TV and media corporations that bombard us with this crap aren't helping and, in fact, may be exacerbating (look it up! read a book!) the problem. So, not only do we have a stupid citizenry being kept ignorant by the media, but we also are in a state where the information we receive is given to us by individuals who only want to increase their own net worth. Why trust someone who is so rich that they're an island when it comes to national and international politics? I sure as shit don't.
