If you continue to be abusive, I am going to stop discussing things with you. It is beneath you.

Media are controlled by different people, primarily by their own executives, their network executives, and their networks' owner corporations' executives. In addition, different media are partially controlled or pressured by advertisers, and by people connected to those who make up the staff of the individual medium. Indirectly, pressures are also brought to bear by interest groups who try to make enough noise to make the media feel their advertising revenue is at risk. Governmental offices also try to exercise pressure, especially on large media organizations. Sometimes they succeed.

So, the answer is, there is no single group that control all media. There are lots of groups and individuals who pressure the media, and the usual corporate chains of command.

Any questions?
