Who owns mainstream media? 

About 90 percent of the international media is owned by nine media conglomerates. News Corp owns national and regional newspapers, magazines, and TV channels in the US, the UK, and Australia.  

Could this be why most of the mainstream media has not reported on the scientific data that is opposite from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Anthony Fauci’s misinformation and disinformation in regards to COVID, treatment and medications, vaccine deaths, and the fallacy of masks?  

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” blew the lid off the dark past and hidden agenda of Anthony Fauci. Visit www.amesfetzer.org to learn more. Yet, mainstream media around the globe remains silent. 

“The coronavirus pandemic will offer many lessons in what to do better to save more lives and do less economic harm the next time. But there’s already one way to ensure future pandemics are less deadly: Reform or defund the World Health Organization (WHO).”
