WHO RUNS THE MEDIA?

The Alarming Facts

In the Oscar-winning movie "Network", Howard Beale, the "mad prophet of the airwaves," became consumed with the idea of exposing an insidious danger facing America: the take-over of American television by the Arabs.

A terrifying prospect, isn't it? The great power of the networks, a power that invades almost every home in the country, the primary source by which we learn about the world, being dominated and controlled by a small, tightly-knit people whose attitudes and viewpoints may be dangerous to our well-being. Freedom of speech, the cornerstone of all our freedoms, would be worthless, because real freedom of speech in a modern world cannot be equated with having a few flyers printed. In 1789 a handbill was equivalent to a TV program of today because it was the best media available. In today's world, comparing a leaflet to a TV program is like comparing a skate board to a Cadillac. If a small group controlled access to major electronic and print media, it would be tantamount to no real freedom of expression.

Indeed, if the American people were to awaken one morning and discover Arabic names scrawled in TV credits as the overwhelming majority of producers, directors, and screenwriters of American television, they would believe, as they should, that the Arabs had taken over television and as Howard Beale put it, they would be "Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore."

Howard Beale's nightmare has been realized. A tiny minority, the most cohesive and powerful in the world, has come to completely dominate American television. But it's not the Arabs.

Ironically, the screenwriter of "Network", Paddy Chavesky, was a member and active supporter of that minority and its political aspirations in America, the Middle East, and elsewhere. And "Network" itself was in complete agreement with those aspirations by identifying Jewish enemies, the Arabs, as our enemies.

"Network" itself affords an excellent example of the bias of the national media establishment. Even though Jewish newspapers boast to their own people of their dominance in the American communications media, as long as their dominance continues, you will not hear even a hint of the great power they possess in the publishing and broadcasting industry. As a result, few Americans outside the media establishment are aware of the Jewish hegemony in the media.

Television and Radio

Television and radio are our primary sources of information about the daily events and concerns of the world. Through TV and radio we are bombarded at home, in our autos, and at work with a constant stream of information and news. Additionally, the entertainment of movies and dramatic series often has both subtle and overt political and social messages. Even comedy is not immune from this propagandizing.

Every American is now familiar, for example, with the Archie Bunker white stereotype. A crude, rude, and unreasoning Archie Bunker is used to show the supposed immorality of opposing gun control, welfare, unrestricted immigration, and race-mixing. At the same time, the show he appears in promotes minority racism and Zionism. The average American young person watches over 16,000 hours of television by the time he is 18. Certainly, TV has a dramatic influence on our attitudes, mores, and even our political philosophies.

The three major television networks are ABC, CBS, and NBC. ABC is run by Leonard Goldenson who has been CEO and Chairman of the Board since 1953. CBS was lead by William Paley since 1948. He still has much stock and influence, but was replaced as chairman by Thomas Wyman. Heading the CBS-TV division is James Rosenfeld. NBC is a subsidiary of RCA, founded by David Sarnoff, who became chairman of its board of directors in 1947. The year 1970 saw the succession of his son to the post until 1975. It is still controlled by the Sarnoff family. NBC has seen a succession of different chairmen, including Herb Schlosser and Fred Silverman. Currently, Grant Tinker is chairman of RCA's network subsidiary, NBC. Tinker is the only Gentile of all those mentioned.

[Two pictures appear side-by-side in the booklet, with the captions "ABC BOSS GOLDENSON" and "CBS BOSS PALEY".]

One should not, however, get the impression that NBC is dominated by Gentiles. Six out of the 12 executive vice-presidents are Jews. The RCA treasurer, Melvin Cornfeld, and the controller, Stanley Roseberry, are also Jews. The vice-chairman of NBC is Irwin Segelstein, and the former vice chairman, Richard Salant, is "General Adviser" to NBC's top management. Furthermore, the president of NBC News is Rueven Frank -- also a Jew.

The only other privately owned national network is in radio, the Mutual Broadcasting System (MBS), with 941 affiliated stations. The president and chief executive officer is Martin Rubenstein. Of course, all three TV networks have radio networks also.

One may hope to escape the minority media control by tuning in his television to the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). The current president is Lawrence Grossman, a former NBC vice-president. At a PBS convention in 1976 he stated that even though most public broadcasting supporters are upper-middle class whites, "as public TV we must program for the disadvantaged, the disenfranchised, the minorities." National Public Radio is the PBS version of that medium. It is headed by Frank Mankiewicz. Both Mankiewicz and Grossman are Jews.

Newspapers

Sixty-two million newspapers are sold each day. They are divided into 1,745 different publications. One might expect sheer numbers to preclude minority control, but the facts prove otherwise.

More than half of the major dailies in America are under direct control or indirect control of Jews, a minority that makes up only 2.9% of the population. This situation has come about as a consequence of the complete dependence of all papers on advertising revenue. In every major city Jews have predominance in the mercantile trade, which includes department stores, large furniture outlets, discount stores, etc. When large advertisers choose to favor one newspaper over another with their business, that newspaper prospers, and its competitors suffer. As Jewish mercantile power has increased there has been a steady decline both in the numbers of newspapers in major cities along with a decline in competing Gentile papers -- primarily as a result of selective advertising by Jewish merchants.

Even the papers still under gentile ownership are so thoroughly dependent on Jewish advertising revenue that their editorial and news reporting policies are largely constrained by Jewish likes and dislikes. In the newspaper industry as elsewhere, he who pays the piper calls the tune.

As Jewish control over American newspapers has grown, the newspaper business has lost its original competitive, free-enterprise nature and has become monopolistic. In over 89% of American cities which have a local daily, there is no competitor. Only in 55 of the nation's largest cities is there daily newspaper competition, and in most of them it is nominal competition between a morning and afternoon paper under the same ownership. For example, the New Orleans morning "Times-Picayune" and the afternoon "States-Item", along with 26 other dailies and 21 Sunday papers, are owned by the Jewish Newhouse family.

The Newhouse family also owns the 20 magazines of the Conde Nast Group ("Glamour", "Mademoiselle", "Vogue", "House and Garden," "Bride's", "Self", and 14 others); Random House books (Alfred A. Knopf, Ballantine, Vintage Books, Pantheon Books, Modern Library, and Fawcett Books); a number of TV and radio stations; some 20 cable-TV systems, and the Sunday supplement "Parade" with a circulation of 22 million copies a week.

Because of the local monopolies of the sort exercised by the Newhouses in a score of American cities, and by others elsewhere, a newspaper editor may print what he pleases (or what his employers and advertisers wish him to print) without fear of contradiction by a competitor. It is the lack of effective competition that has resulted in the press becoming for all practical purposes an instrument of Jewish policy.

The "New York Times" is the unofficial news, social, fashion, entertainment, cultural, and political guide of American life. It is sold in every major community and read by the intellectual and financial elite of the nation.

The "New York Times" was founded by Henry Raymond and George Jones in 1851. In 1896 it was purchased by Adolf Ochs after a drop in advertising revenue forced it to near bankruptcy. Ochs, a wealthy Jewish publisher, bought the paper from Jones' estate for a modest price. After Ochs' acquisition its advertising revenues rose dramatically.

The present Jewish owners are related to Ochs through the marriage of Ochs' daughter. Adolf Ochs' grandson, Arthhur Ochs Sulzberger, is the paper's publisher and chief executive officer. The Sulzberger family also owns 18 other newspapers, eight magazines, several radio and TV stations, a cable-TV system, 3 book-publishing companies, and a news service that transmits stories, features, and photographs to 506 other papers.

The "Washington Post" is a close second to the "New York Times" in national influence. It has an extremely powerful effect on the U.S. Congressmen and Senators as well as tens of thousands of bureaucrats who direct the policies of the U.S. government. It was founded in 1877 by Stilson Hutchins and later bought by John R. McLean. Forced into bankruptcy in 1933, it was sold on the auction block to Eugene Meyer, a Jewish financier and partner of Bernard Baruch, for a trifling $825,000.

It is presently run by Katherine Meyer Graham, Eugene Meyer's daughter, who is the principal stockholder and chairman of the Washington Post Company. She also owns "Newsweek" and "Inside Sports," and a number of other newspapers, magazines, and news services.

[Two pictures appear side-by-side with the captions, "NYT BOSS SULZBERGER" and "WP BOSS MEYER-GRAHAM".]

It's not just the big liberal papers that are in Jewish hands; the "Wall Street Journal", read by capitalist businessmen and bankers all over the world, is owned by the Dow Jones Company, a New York Corporation which also publishes 20 other daily newspapers and the weekly tabloid "Barron's". The chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Dow Jones is Warren Henry Phillips. Despite the Gentile-sounding name, Phillips is a Jew, the son of Abraham Phillips and Juliette Rosenberg.

News Magazines

There are three major weeklies published in the United States. They are "Time", "Newsweek", and "U.S. News & World Report".

"Time" has the largest circulation: 4.3 million. The parent company, Time, Inc., owns "Life", "Fortune", "Sports Illustrated", "Money", "Discover", and "People", Time-Life Books, Book-of-the-Month Club, Little, Brown, & Company publishers, and 140 cable-TV systems.

Henry Grunwald is editor-in-chief of Time, Inc. and has overall editorial responsibility for all of Time's publications.

As mentioned previously, "Newsweek" is owned by Katherine Meyer Graham.

"U.S. News & World Report" is more business oriented and more politically conservative than its two competitors. Its editor is Marvin Stone.

Grunwald, Graham, and Stone are all Jews.

Other media suffer the same plight. In non-news magazines publishing, for example, three of the five largest circulation magazines are owned by Jews. They are "TV Guide" (1) published by Walter Annesberg's Triangle Publications, "Family Circle" (4) published by the Newhouse family, and "Women's Day" (5) owned by William Paley's CBS.

Movies and TV Programming

In the motion picture world and TV production of Hollywood, the Jews reign unchallenged. For example, the giant of the industry is MCA, Inc. MCA produces much of the prime-time entertainment on the three networks as well as a substantial percentage of films (examples: "Jaws", "American Graffiti", "Animal House". All were financed and distributed by Universal Pictures, an MCA subsidiary).

MCA is Jewish from top to bottom. Its chief executive officer is Lew Wasserman, and its president is Sidney Sheinberg.

In an excellent book, "The View From Sunset Boulevard", Jewish Hollywood writer-producer Ben Stein (son of former economic adviser to presidents Herbert Stein) calmly points out that a majority of the writers and producers in Hollywood are Jews. He also makes clear that these Jews are completely alien to middle class white America in every sense and that most are only first or second generation Americans with no real love for our social, artistic, cultural, and political traditions. Stein insists that they are extremely pro-black, pro-Hispanic, anti-business, and extremely anti-white.

Beale's Nightmare Come True

There is no arguing the fact that Jewish control is not total. It is certainly true that there is a good number of TV stations, a few book publishers, even a few movie producers who are not Jewish. But there is also no question that the control is *pervasive*, and that the overwhelming thrust of media is pro-Zionist and pro-minority. Sometimes, things slip through the media that Jews do not like, but when it happens, howls of protest and pressure descend upon the media outlet. I have experienced many first-hand examples.

In 1974 I appeared on the "Tommorow Show" with Tom Snyder. During the course of the program, Snyder was so fascinated that three times during the course of the show, he invited me back, saying that I would be back on soon. A week later they invited me back to appear with a rabbi, a black leader, and a white liberal. At the last moment the show was cancelled, and I have not been back since. I have been on a number of national shows once, only to have that program cut off future appearances because of Jewish pressure. And, there have been many programs that cancelled my scheduled appearance even after extending an initial invitation. There have even been some shows that refused to air taped programs I already had completed.

A couple of years ago, I completed a national, black-run PBS interview program called "Black Perspectives in the News". Because I mentioned a few facts of Jewish media control, a Jew, with backing from the ADL, went to court to suppress the program before it was aired nationally. A Jewish judge in the program's originating city of Philadelphia heard the case and ordered the video tape seized. Later, after a long court battle, the judge's ruling was overturned, but by then Jewish pressure had been applied at individual PBS stations around the country. The original program ended up showing on only a small percentage of PBS affiliates.

If Jewish organizations go into a public courtroom to suppress programs or ideas they don't like, imagine the quiet suppression by Jewish producers, directors, and writers behind the scenes.

Most of the time when I bring out the facts of Jewish media control in interviews, the host tries to deny Jewish dominance of the media. They say, "The Jews don't really dominate American media," or, "You must be a conspiracy nut," (even though I never use the word conspiracy). I tell them that it doesn't matter whether or not a conspiracy has caused this situation to develop, the point is that the present situation is very dangerous to this country and I proceed to give the irrefutable facts of Jewish domination of mass media in America.

Of course, the facts are impossible to disprove, so the announcers then shift the argument and say, "So what if the Jews control the media; why is that so bad?"

If at the beginning of the conversation I would have asked the announcer if he thought it would be a good thing if the Arabs had practically a monopoly on our media, he would have certainly emoted about the inherent dangers of such to our basic constitutional liberties and freedoms. Yet, the Jews are certainly the most chauvinistic people on earth. No other race on earth constantly refers to itself as the chosen people of God. The term "chosen people" has become synonymous with Jews. No people more ardently support a nation in which most of them don't reside. Jews residing in every nation of the world finance and support Israel.

What's more, no people have made more of a shrine or icon out of persecution and suffering than the Jews. Their literature and teachings are overflowing with tales of woe their ancestors experienced at the hands of every people with whom they resided. The allegation of the six million has become the central, most important event of the 20th century to the Jews, and because of their media domination, also to us. Ask any American high school student how many Jews perished in World War II and you'll get an immediate, definite response. Then ask him how many Americans died in that war and all you'll see is a blank face.

Chronic recital of persecution of Jews by Gentiles cannot help but instill a deep resentment in Jews against Gentiles manifested in subtle and overt actions against us. Lately, they have begun blaming all Gentiles for the Holocaust. Many leading Jewish authors have chastised America for not declaring war on Germany immediately upon Hitler's ascension to power.

So, we face a media controlled by a chauvinistic, highly organized minority, a minority that harbors animosity against us for both real and imagined wrongs. Their chauvinism is expressed in media bias especially when they feel they have their direct interests at stake.

Take for example the Israel-Arab conflict. The media tells us that Israel is the only real democracy in the Middle East, when the truth is that over a million Arabs in Israel don't have the right to vote, or any rights of citizenship.

The media is constantly telling us about Arab terrorism, when the state of Israel was founded by terror. Through terrorism and massacres of civilians, the Jews drove millions of Arabs out of the land that now comprises Israel. Menachem Begin as head of an Israeli terrorist organization helped bomb the King David Hotel in Jerusalem (killing dozens) and masterminded the massacre at Deir Yassin, where over 250 mostly women and children were murdered. News of this massacre was then publicized and played up in order to cause panic among the Arabs and cause a mass exodus from Palestine.

In the latest invasion of Lebanon, over one-half million people were made homeless and 10,000 civilians were killed. During the invasion and occupation, while Israeli airplanes were bombing villages, schools, and hospitals, killing thousands, the three networks' news constantly referred to the Palestinian victims as terrorists while never referring to the attackers as other than soldiers.

[A picture appears with the caption, "Palestinians sift through rubble of home destroyed by made-in-America Israeli jets."]

Of course, the pro-Zionist position of the U.S. government has cost us dearly in the Mideast. We have alienated Arab states, many of which have resources vital to the well-being of America, and in turn helped the communist cause by pushing Arabs to closer positions with the Soviet Union, our worst enemy. We spend billions in aid each year to Israel which could certainly have been put to better use in our own nation. With each passing day we increase the involvement of our own forces in the region which may get America into another catastrophic war.

Of course, when one considers that only 2.9% of the population controls the mass media in America it's easy to see why we can develop a policy that is in direct contradiction to the best interests of 97.1% of the American people. When one learns the real masters of the media, many things begin to fall into place and become clear. The flood of movies, TV docudramas, news stories, books, and magazine articles about the Holocaust makes perfect sense. Perhaps they can convince the American people to put Israel's interests over our own, and certainly, it immunizes them from serious opposition to their control of the media.

They have effectively used their media power to suppress awareness of their media domination and to deify themselves in the minds of many Americans while at the same time demonize (or Hitlerize) anyone who dares to question the benevolence of Jewish domination.

The next tactic talkshow hosts resort to is to intone, "Well, if the Jews dominate the media it just shows they are more talented. They deserve to, for isn't that the nature of our free enterprise system?"

At that point, I ask the host if he has ever in his lifetime watched TV, for if he had, how could any living being believe that the bulk of what one sees on TV is produced by talent? Furthermore, is it uplifting, does it instill in our youth the value system of our fathers or a potpourri of sex, violence, and inanity?

If TV is produced by the most talented, I feel sorry for the rest of us! In the last quarter of a century we have had the opportunity to see just what kind of effect the outpouring of this new literati have had on the American people. A generation has grown up weaned on Dr. Benjamin Spock and TV and been "educated" by the thrust of Jewish literature. Hand-in-hand with this cultural changing of the guard, we have seen more violence, suicide, mental illness, and moral decadence. Has the "Light unto the nations" been a beacon of hope or a glaring failure?

And, really now, are we honestly expected to believe that 2.9% of the population produces more artistic, literary talent in the broadcast industry than the other 97.1%? Of course, we Gentiles are obviously bereft of talent. Twain, Hemingway, Tennyson, Shakespeare, and a thousand more must have all been Jews! In actual fact, of course, Jews have constituted less than 1% of the great writers and playwrights of English and European literature, but now we are supposed to believe that this 2.9% produces the most talent.

In the Hollywood/New York axis of media, it's not what you know but who you know. Increasingly, the elite of American media is becoming a country club with very strict admissions policies, the primary one being having a Jewish mother.

Racism and finances have given the Jewish minority its preeminent power in media. The same racism that causes many Jewish merchants to bring all their newspaper advertising to the Jewish-owned daily rather than the Gentile-owned one. When a Jewish executive of a major studio needs a writer and he has fifteen Gentile applicants and a Jewish one, who will invariably get the job? One can't forget that Jews have been taught that their survival is tenuous and demand unity. Over the years the cumulative effect of financial power and such favoritism, while the Majority is taught to think in terms of the individual, has resulted in the capturing of the American media establishment by Zionists.

Summary

Getting unbiased information is absolutely vital, especially in a democracy, for if one controls the information the public gets, the unelected masters of the media can certainly have a dramatic effect on the social, political, and cultural directions of the public.

If there are problems in education, the media can tell us about them. If there are problems in government, the media can expose them. If there is danger from foreign nations, the media can warn us.

If there is misuse of the media, there is no power that can get that vital information to us, and the media establishment is free to mislead us in any area. There is no greater danger facing America than the Jewish control over the mass media.

Americans often point to the Soviet Union and speak of their lack of freedom of speech in a government-owned media. True. But how much more freedom do we have in a media tightly controlled by a powerful minority? As I wrote in the beginning of this article, we do have the freedom to print up a flyer, or the right sometimes to go on a talkshow, but we have no right to get on the national media and do a documentary on the Jewish domination of the media or the betrayal of American interests in the Middle East on behalf of Israel, or the true results of integration in our schools, or the peril confronting the white race through high immigration and nonwhite birthrates.

Freedom of speech is limited to issues that the Jewish media elite aren't fearful of. For instance, network commentators may discuss how much weaponry should go to Israel, but not whether we should switch our alliance to the Arabs from whom we would have infinitely more gain.

In the Soviet Union the people know the media is run by the government, so they look with a jaundiced eye on anything they see or hear from the Russian communications establishment.

Here in the United States we have the illusion of freedom of speech in the national media, but it really isn't there in the quality or quantity that makes any difference. The illusion of free press makes the propaganda that much more effective, because the public is more prone to think it is getting a balanced presentation.

[A sketched drawing of a family of three watching seven televisions at once appears with the caption, "Does the increasing number of channels actually give us freedom of choice or just give the media moguls more power and wealth?"]

Howard Beale was right. A small, alien minority has control over the TV airwaves, and it is costing us our freedoms, our cultural integrity, our money, and even our lives. Yet, it is not the Arabs, it is another brand of Semites infinitely more powerful and cohesive.

I for one will not just slough off this danger and retreat into the unreal world of a situation comedy. I hope you will join other concerned Americans and me in the absolutely vital effort to inform Americans of the media control under which we live. The control and manipulation of the mass media, when understood by the American Majority, should make them very, very angry.

Passivity is often just another form of cowardice. Nothing will change until as Howard Beale put it, you get mad as hell and simply don't take it anymore.[]

[Transcriber's comments -- Freedom of speech benefits both majority and minority. Hindrance of it is, with little doubt, at the root of the very worst social injustices, and can, I feel, be quite accurately described as the principle "modus operandi" of fascism. I believe that it is of utmost importance that freedom of speech and its virtues be applied to the media and granted, without prejudice, to all people and that, necessarily, any and all attempts to curtail it be thwarted when at all possible.
