Media Monopoly: How Six Corporations Control Our Information

Listen Later

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Overlooked Headlines! I'm your host, Jeff Bass, and today we dive into some critical yet often disregarded news stories that impact our lives and well-being. Our mission is to not only inform you about these headlines but also to inspire you through biblical insights, which we refer to as "His Lines."

In this episode, we explore three significant headlines:

  1. Record Number of People Making Only Minimum Credit Card Payments : We discuss the alarming trend of credit card holders making only minimum payments, which has risen to 10.75%—the highest since 2012. Financial experts highlight that this trend has been exacerbated by rising interest rates, with many consumers now relying on credit to meet basic necessities. We delve into the implications of this trend, including the rising delinquency rates and the long-term financial burden on households.
  2. Scientists Sound Alarm About Unvaccinated Developing COVID Vaccine Side Effects : A groundbreaking study has emerged, revealing that unvaccinated individuals may experience side effects from COVID mRNA vaccines due to proximity to vaccinated individuals. This phenomenon, known as vaccine shedding, has raised significant concerns within the scientific community. We discuss the study's findings, which indicate that unvaccinated women near vaccinated individuals are at a higher risk for various menstrual issues. This revelation challenges previous narratives and calls for a reevaluation of vaccine safety protocols.
  3. Six Corporations Control Almost Everything We Watch, Hear, and Read : We take a closer look at the media landscape, where just six corporations—Disney, Time Warner, National Amusements, News Corporation, Comcast, and Sony—dominate the content we consume. This concentration of media power raises questions about the influence these corporations have on public perception and the information we receive. We discuss the implications of this media monopoly and the growing credibility crisis facing mainstream media.

    4. As always, we conclude the episode with "His Lines," where I share biblical perspectives that relate to the headlines we've discussed. Drawing from Matthew 26:41, I emphasize the importance of vigilance and prayer in our lives, encouraging listeners to maintain a strong relationship with God amidst the challenges we face. I also highlight the need for spiritual disciplines and the importance of staying alert to the temptations that surround us, referencing 1 Peter 5:8.
