Title: Mass Media for the Few

According to Parenti, in a capitalist “democracy” like the United States, the corporate news media faithfully reflect the dominant class ideology both in their reportage and commentary, even while claiming to be balanced in their coverage of events. How do corporations exercise this power over the media? How have these corporations further consolidated their control over what we see and hear? Please answer both questions, and cite specific examples Parenti uses in “Mass Media for the Few.”
