No you misunderstand how the united states operates my yellow friend.
When CNN was gonna fail in the 90s, what happened? Conveniently a contract with all the airports came through. Thats how the u.s. model works. They will always find funding "just in time" before a bankruptcy.

The US is not the only western nation. And they all operate the same way. Who buys those shitty womens magazines? Who is paying for cam whores? Who is buying tvs to watch television? Who is giving their money to government to bail out failing companies? In the end, you can turn of cnn and they lose their power. But someone, somewhere, is NOT turning it off and watching it with open eyes. And I can tell you, its not the government buying into propaganda media, its not the media buying into media, or the jews. Its the common idiot.

You do make a point. But the government is producing it.
