THE CONTROL OF NEWPAPERS IN AMERICA AND HOW IT IS CHANGING OUR ONCE CHRISTIAN CULTURE
"
After television, daily newspapers are the most influential mass medium in America. Sixty-three
million of them are sold (and presumably read) each day. These millions are divided among some
1,640 different publications. One might conclude that the sheer number of different newspapers
across America would provide a safeguard against minority control and distortion. Alas, such is
not the case. There is less independence, less competition, and much less representation of
majority Christian interests than a casual observer would think.
Only 412 (25 per cent) of the 1,640 publications are independently owned; the rest belong to
multi-newspaper chains. Only 121 of the total number have circulations of more than 100,000.
Only a handful are large enough to maintain independent reporting staffs outside their own
communities; the rest must depend on these few for all of their national and international news.
In only 54 cities in America are there more than one daily newspaper, and competition is
frequently nominal even among them, as between morning and afternoon editions under the same
ownership. Examples of this are the Huntsville, Alabama, morning News and afternoon Times; the
Birmingham, Alabama, morning Post Herald and afternoon News; the Mobile, Alabama, morning
Register and afternoon Press; the Springfield, Massachusetts, morning Union, afternoon News,
and Sunday-only Republican; the Syracuse, New York, morning Post-Standard and afternoon
Herald-Journal -- all owned by the Jewish Newhouse brothers through their holding company,
Advance Publications.
The Newhouse media empire provides an example of more than the lack of real competition
among America's daily newspapers; it also illustrates the insatiable appetite Jews have shown for
all the organs of opinion control on which they could fasten their grip. The Newhouses own 31
daily newspapers, including several large and important ones, such as the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
the Newark Star-Ledger, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune; the nation's largest trade book
publishing conglomerate, Random House, with all its subsidiaries; Newhouse Broadcasting,
consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations and 87 cable-TV systems, including some of the
country's largest cable networks; the Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than
22 million copies per week; some two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker, Vogue,
Mademoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Bride's, Gentlemen's Quarterly, Self, House & Garden, and
all the other magazines of the wholly owned Conde Nast group.
This Jewish media empire was founded by the late Samuel Newhouse, an immigrant from Russia.
When he died in 1979 at the age of 84, he bequeathed media holdings worth an estimated $1.3
billion to his two sons, Samuel and Donald. With a number of further acquisitions, the net worth of
Advance Publications has grown to more than $8 billion today.
The gobbling up of so many newspapers by the Newhouse family was in large degree made
possible by the fact that newspapers are not supported by their subscribers, but by their
advertisers. It is advertising revenue -- not the small change collected from a newspaper's readers
-- that largely pays the editor's salary and yields the owner's profit.
Whenever the large advertisers in a city choose to favor one newspaper over another with their
business, the favored newspaper will flourish while its competitor dies. Since the beginning of this
century, when Jewish mercantile power in America became a dominant economic force, there has
been a steady rise in the number of American newspapers in Jewish hands, accompanied by a
steady decline in the number of competing Christian newspapers -- primarily as a result of selective
advertising policies by Jewish merchants.
Furthermore, even those newspapers still under Gentile ownership and management are so
thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising revenue that their editorial and news reporting
policies are largely constrained by Jewish likes and dislikes. It holds true in the newspaper
business as elsewhere that he who pays the piper calls the tune.
Three Jewish Newspapers
The suppression of competition and the establishment of local monopolies on the dissemination of
news and opinion have characterized the rise of Jewish control over America's newspapers. The
resulting ability of the Jews to use the press as an unopposed instrument of Jewish policy could
hardly be better illustrated than by the examples of the nation's three most prestigious and
influential newspapers: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
These three, dominating America's financial and political capitals, are the newspapers which set
the trends and the guidelines for nearly all the others. They are the ones which decide what is news
and what isn't, at the national and international levels. They originate the news; the others merely
copy it. And all three newspapers are in Jewish hands.
The New York Times is the unofficial social, fashion, entertainment, political, and cultural guide of
the nation. It tells America's "smart set" which books to buy and which films to see; which
opinions are in style at the moment; which politicians, educators, spiritual leaders, artists, and
businessmen are the real comers. And for a few decades in the last century it was a genuinely
American newspaper.
The New York Times was founded in 1851 by two Gentiles, Henry J. Raymond and George
Jones. After their deaths, it was purchased in 1896 from Jones's estate by a wealthy Jewish
publisher, Adolph Ochs. His great-grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., is the paper's current
publisher and CEO. The executive editor is Max Frankel, and the managing editor is Joseph
Lelyveld. Both are Jews.
The Sulzberger family also owns, through the New York Times Co., 33 other newspapers,
including the Boston Globe, purchased in June 1993 for $1.1 billion; twelve magazines, including
McCall's and Family Circle with circulations of more than 5 million each; seven radio and TV
broadcasting stations; a cable-TV system; and three book publishing companies. The New York
Times News Service transmits news stories, features, and photographs from the New York Times
by wire to 506 other newspapers, news agencies, and magazines. Of similar national importance is
the Washington Post, which, by establishing its "leaks" throughout government agencies in
Washington, has an inside track on news involving the Federal government.
The Washington Post, like the New York Times, had a non-Jewish origin. It was established in
1877 by Stilson Hutchins, purchased from him in 1905 by John R. McLean, and later inherited by
Edward B. McLean. In June 1933, however, at the height of the Great Depression, the
newspaper was forced into bankruptcy. It was purchased at a bankruptcy auction by Eugene
Meyer, a Jewish financier and former partner of the infamous Bernard Baruch, industry czar in
America during the First World War.
The Washington Post is now run by Katherine Meyer Graham, Eugene Meyer's daughter. She is
the principal stockholder and the board chairman of the Washington Post Co. In 1979 she
appointed her son Donald publisher of the paper. He now also holds the posts of president and
CEO of the Washington Post Co.
The Washington Post Co. has a number of other media holdings in newspapers, television, and
magazines, most notably the nation's number-two weekly newsmagazine, Newsweek. The Wall
Street Journal, which sells 2.1 million copies each weekday, is the nation's largest-circulation daily
newspaper. It is owned by Dow Jones & Co., Inc., a New York corporation which also
publishes 24 other daily newspapers and the weekly financial tabloid Barron's, among other
things. The chairman and CEO of Dow Jones is Peter R. Kann, who is a Jew. Kann also holds
the posts of chairman and publisher of the Wall Street Journal.
New York's other major newspapers are in no better hands than the New York Times and the
Wall Street Journal. In January 1993 the New York Daily News was bought from the estate of
the late Jewish media mogul Robert Maxwell (born Ludvik Hoch) by Jewish real-estate developer
Mortimer B. Zuckerman. The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern, the
billionaire Jewish owner of the Hartz Mountain pet supply firm. The New York Post, suffering
from severe financial problems, has been bouncing back and forth for a year among a succession
of Jewish billionaires -- Peter Kalikow, Steven Hoffenberg, Abraham Hirshfeld
-- and Australian newspaper mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Other Mass Media
The story is pretty much the same for other media as it is for television, radio, and newspapers.
Consider, for example, newsmagazines. There are only three of any note published in the United
States: Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report.
Time, with a weekly circulation of 4.1 million, is published by a subsidiary of Time Warner
Communications, the new media conglomerate formed by the 1989 merger of Time Inc. with
Warner Communications. The CEO of Time Warner Communications, as mentioned above, is
Gerald Levin, a Jew.
Newsweek, as mentioned above, is published by the Washington Post Co., under the Jewess
Katherine Meyer Graham. Its weekly circulation is 3.2 million.
U.S. News & World Report, with a weekly circulation of 2.3 million, is owned and published by
the aforementioned Mortimer B. Zuckerman, who also has taken the position of editor-in-chief of
the magazine for himself. Zuckerman also owns the Atlantic Monthly and New York's tabloid
newspaper, the Daily News.
Or consider books. There are literally thousands of publishers in the United States, and among
these thousands are many with little or no direct Jewish control; there are some which actually
dare to publish books not approved by the Jewish Establishment. But all of the latter publishers
are very small, and their books seldom reach the great mass of Americans who buy their reading
material from drugstore news racks or from the chain bookstores.
Among the giant publishing conglomerates, however, the situation is quite Jewish. Three of the six
largest book publishers in the United States, according to Publishers Weekly, are owned or
controlled by Jews. The three are first-place Random House (with its many subsidiaries, including
Crown Publishing Group), third-place Simon & Schuster, and sixth-place Time Warner Trade
Group (including Warner Books and Little, Brown).
As pointed out above, the Newhouse family owns Random House, and Gerald Levin is CEO of
Time Warner Communications, of which Time Warner Trade Group is a division. Simon &
Schuster is a subsidiary of Paramount Communications, Inc. (formerly Gulf and Western, Inc.), of
whom the chairman and CEO is Martin S. Davis, as already noted.
Another publisher of special significance is Western Publishing. Although it ranks only 13th in size
among all U.S. publishers, it ranks first among publishers of children's books, with more than 50
per cent of the market. Its chairman and CEO is Richard Bernstein, a Jew.
Those are the facts of media control in America. Anyone honest enough and willing to spend a few hours in a large
library looking into current editions of yearbooks on the radio and television industries and into
directories of newspapers and magazines; into registers of corporations and their officers, such as
those published by Standard and Poors and by Dun and Bradstreet; and into standard
biographical reference works can verify their accuracy. They are undeniable, and when confronted
with them Jewish spokesmen customarily will use evasive tactics. "Ted Turner isn't a Jew!" they
will announce triumphantly, as if that settled the issue. If pressed further they will accuse the
confronter of "anti-Semitism" for even raising the subject. It is fear of this accusation which keeps
many persons silent who know the facts.
But we must not remain silent on this most important of issues! The Jewish control of the
American mass media is one of the most important facts of life, not just in America, but in the whole
world today. There is nothing -- plague, famine, economic collapse, even nuclear war -- more
dangerous to the future of the Christian people than to have their minds poisoned by false ideas.
By permitting the Jews to control our news and entertainment media we are doing more than
merely giving them a decisive influence on our political system and virtual control of our
government; we also are giving them control of the minds and souls of our children, whose
attitudes and ideas are shaped more by Jewish television and Jewish films than by parents, Church,
schools, or any other influence." |
