Eric Draitser of StopImperialism.org provides his comments on the nature of the corporate media and its function within the Western imperial system. He notes that the media is almost entirely controlled by a small number of corporations, and that it acts as the mouthpiece of the ruling class. Draitser explains that the media’s function is to shape public opinion around Washington’s policies. He provides a number of historical examples, pointing out that a corporate media subservient to the political needs of the establishment is nothing new, as the US has a rich history of selling wars to its citizens through the distorted lens of mass media.
