Ask the media critics on the left to identify the bible of their movement and they will inevitably cite Ben Bagdikian’s famous book, The Media Monopoly. But in a sign that the media monopoly has turned into a weapon of the “progressive” movement, it is Donald J. Trump and his economic adviser, Professor Peter Navarro, who are leading the charge against the corporate interests with media properties backing the Democratic Party and its global socialist agenda.
In a hard-hitting statement, Trump adviser Navarro announced that Trump, if elected president, “will break up the new media conglomerate oligopolies that have gained enormous control over our information, intrude into our personal lives, and in this election, are attempting to unduly influence America’s political process.”
A professor of economics and public policy at the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine, Navarro identified the corporations with a monopoly over news and information as the same ones that are ripping off American consumers and shipping jobs overseas. “The very corporations that have gained from shipping America’s factories and jobs offshore are the very same media conglomerates now pushing Hillary Clinton’s agenda,” he said in a statement. “She is the official candidate of the multinational ruling elite.”
