So first of all, they're giant corporations. So they're all multi-billion dollar corporations. In the old days, we had... incredible number of media outlets. So you go to San Francisco, there'd be at least two papers and there'd be a paper boy, and I'm going all the way back, paper boy on each corner and they're competing with one another. Literally, they'd be catty corner, right?

And one guy's going, oh, here are all this details. They're trying to get an audience. They're trying to get people interested. So they're populist, they're interesting, they're muckrakers, they're challenging the government. Fast forward to now, or not now, but About a decade ago, five years ago in that ballpark, now there's only six giant media corporations left and it's an oligopoly, right?

And they're all multi-billion dollar corporations. They all want tax cuts. Half of them are also, especially about 20 years ago during the Iraq war, half of them are defense contractors, right? So they're just using the news as marketing to start wars like the Iraq war. And then GE, which owned MSNBC makes a tremendous amount of money, so much more money from war than it does for media.

That media is a good marketing spend for these corporations. Now that's part of it that they themselves want the same exact thing as the rest of corporations do for corporate rule, lower tax cuts, deregulation so they can merge, et cetera. But the second part of it is arguably even more important. So where does all that money in politics go? So for example, in 2022, it's just a midterm election.

No presidential should be lower spending. A ridiculous $17 billion are spent, okay, on the election cycle. Where does the $17 billion go? Almost all of it goes into corporate media. mainstream media, television, newspapers, radio. They're buying ads like nuts. So we have a reporter at TYT, David Schuster. He used to work at MSNBC, Fox News, et cetera.

And David once did a piece about money and politics at a local NBC news station. And his editor or GM spiked a story. And David goes into his office and asks him, so why Why? This story is true. It's a huge part of politics. If we're going to report on this issue, we got to tell you what's actually happening. So he says, David, come here.
