Censorship and narrative manipulation in the mainstream media and on the Internet Part 1

One can not approach the subject of vaccine safety without wading into the issue of media culpability in spreading false narratives about vaccine safety. Robert Kennedy Jr. has commented about how Roger Ailes who was a friend of his, had told him that due to the fact that as much as 70 to 80 percent of Fox News advertising revenue came from the the pharmaceutical industry, he could not afford to have a story portraying vaccines in a negative light on one of his shows.
In fact he would have to fire any newscaster who would do a story that would be negative about vaccines.
This problem is not only Germaine to the Fox network but all of the media outlets, as their main source of advertising revenue comes from Big Pharma.This is true both in broadcast media as well as in print media.
If you pay attention you will see that nearly all the reporting on vaccines is slanted to tout how great and miraculous they are, while downplaying any safety concerns and dismissing those concerns as "debunked" and "discredited". You will see phrases like "experts say" or "studies show". You will not see see or hear any details about those "studies" or controversies surrounding study design or interpretation. What you are getting is in effect propaganda to promote vaccine compliance and suppress vaccine dissent, rather than science.
One might wonder "well certainly if there was any real problem with vaccines someone in the news business would cover it".
The problem is, the news business has become a tightly controlled information monopoly as evidenced by the image below. As you can see, already in 2011 90% of all media was controlled by 6 companies. The effect this has, is that these 6 companies have the ability to manipulate narrative and messaging about any issue and goad and persuade the public to think and behave in the way that they want.
