Olbermann Calls Out MSM For "Media Blackout" Of Wall Street Protests

Video - Keith Olbermann On 'Occupy Wall Street' - Sep. 21, 2011

Is it really any surprise that the corporate media would keep this issue on the down-low. Self-preservation is a powerful motivating force.  We've seen coverage by Democracy Now, Dylan Ratigan, Keith Olbermann and below, Cenk of The Young Turks.  And that's all we're likely to see.

Cenk calls out the Tea Party for not supporting the Wall Street Occupation.

MSM short for Main Stream Media, refers to the Propaganda Organs of corrupt government and elite special interests. Corporate control of information, expression, and communication released through these television and newspaper Propaganda Organs, means true Freedom of the Press no longer exists in the U.S.

The one percenters are getting their sheeple herding technique down pat.

Who let Olbermann out of the basement?

Michael Moore was on Countdown With Keith Olbermann where he expressed the belief that the Occupy Wall Street protest is going to grow, and he encouraged the American people to take it nationwide.

Insight - U.S. media CEOs are top paid even in year when stock prices lagged

http://in.reuters.com/article/2015/05/12/ceo-compensation-media-idINKBN0NX0AR20150512

Investors in some top U.S. media companies have had a rough ride as their shares have lagged the rest of the market. You just wouldn’t know it if you looked at the bank accounts of their top executives.

The CEOs of 11 major media companies were given median compensation of $32.9 million for 2014, much higher than any other industry group in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, according to regulatory filings posted in the first four months of this year and analyzed by executive pay consulting firm Farient Advisors for Reuters. Food & staples retailers came in a distant second at $24.5 million.

It is set to be the seventh successive year media industry executives come out on top – figures before 2008 are not comparable because of the way pensions and stock options are disclosed.

In many of the years, media company stocks were outperforming the broader market as revenue and earnings surged. Last year, though, the median total return of the 11 companies was 10.76 percent against 13.69 percent for the S&P 500 as a whole.

The weakness reflects more challenging times in much of the business, with advertising growth stuttering and the increasing amounts of video delivered and viewed over the Internet upsetting a cozy business model for program makers and the traditional pay-TV distributers, such as cable companies.

Many companies justify big awards by stressing difficulty retaining top talent in a competitive market.

But some compensation experts say there is another explanation – a number of the major media companies are controlled by top executives and their families, which means boards don’t have to worry much about objections from other shareholders. CEOs at companies with less family influence benefit anyway because boards tend to benchmark pay against their major rivals.

Robert McCormick, chief policy officer of proxy adviser Glass Lewis & Co, said the controlling shareholders “can pay whatever they want," and disregard views of other shareholders.

For example, Sumner Redstone, 91, controls about 80 percent of the voting shares in CBS (CBS.N) and Viacom (VIAB.O) through a holding company.

So far this year, the CEOs of Discovery Communications Inc (DISCA.O), CBS, Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) and Viacom accounted for the first, third, fourth and fifth spots among the five highest-paid CEOs across the S&P 500. The only non-media CEO in that group was Steven Mollenkopf of telecom technology company Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.O), who was second.

Often in the media industry, "the pay is not reflecting the performance," said Michael McCauley, senior officer for the Florida State Board of Administration, which manages pension assets for Florida state and other local authority employees, and holds shares in all four of these media companies...

George Stephanopoulos discloses $75,000 contribution to Clinton Foundation

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/05/george-stephanopoulos-discloses-contribution-to-clinton-207120.html

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos has given $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, charitable contributions that he did not publicly disclose while reporting on the Clintons or their nonprofit organization, the On Media blog has learned.

In 2012, 2013 and 2014, Stephanopoulos made $25,000 donations to the 501 nonprofit founded by former President Bill Clinton, the foundation's records show. Stephanopoulos never disclosed this information to viewers, even when interviewing author Peter Schweizer last month about his book "Clinton Cash," which alleges that donations to the foundation may have influenced some of Hillary Clinton's actions as secretary of state.

In a statement to the On Media blog on Thursday, Stephanopoulos apologized and said that he should have disclosed the donations to ABC News and its viewers.
