Media

WHO CONTROLS THE MEDIA What do Arnaud de Borchgrave, editor-in-cheif of the "conservative" Washington Times, and Max Frankel, top dog at the "liberal" New York Times, have in common? At least one thing, at any rate; Both are members of the Rockefeller family's private and secretive international pressure group known as the Council on Foreigh Relations (CFR). De Borchgrave and Frankel join a long list of powerful media personalities, who are members of the CFR and/or of the Trilaterial Commission (TC), another Rockefeller family front group that plays a major role in shaping U.S. foriegn policy. Rockefeller influence on the media is immense, particularly on the major television networks. In fact, according to researcher Peter Borsnan, the Rockefeller family's Chase Manhatan Bank ( and the other Rockefeller institutions)are among the largest holders of network stock, with substancial interests in all three networks. Chase Manhattan controls fully 14 percent of CBS stock. Stock analysts note that with stock widely distributed among shareholders, institutions can weild influence or outright control with 5 percent, sometimes as little as 1 or 2 percent, equity. The accompanying chart shows some of the major media figures (aapast and present)--editors, reporters, corporate directors, and others--who belong or have belonged to the CFR and the TC.
