This isn't true. Reuters is owned by a Canadian company, and AP is independent.

Cool meme but Reuters doesn't own AP and Rothschild doesn't own Reuters. It is quite ironic to be pushing against the very real problem of media disinfo/government propaganda trickled down through AP/Reuters, while at the same time spreading misinformation.

In case you didn’t know, the number 88 (for “hh”, or “Heil Hitler”) is a nazi dog whistle. The insinuation here is that since Rothschild is Jewish, the AP must be part of the Jewish conspiracy to control the world from the shadows.

Yeah... Could we please not post antisemitic dogwhistles on here?

[-] void@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

At „It’s the Jews!“ OP could have stopped and done some simple research – instead they decided to go on and post antisemitic lies.

This video is horrifying to watch.

This is the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. If you think there are only 6 "media companies" and that they all get their news from AP or Reuters, then you need to get the fuck off the internet for a while.

How are we counting "media companies"? Like what defines one?

[-] Entheon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It would be really nice if we made use of those nifty anti-trust laws we have. There's a bunch of industries that could use it.

American car manufacturers all adopting NACS is also a monopoly in formation.

It can't be a coincidence that the Rothschild guy there looks almost identical to Mr. Burns, right?

And people wonder why Cuba has banned American media. "Freedom of press" is an illusion when it's all owned by megacorporations and billionaires.
