Controlling communications mass media

Synonyms:
Controlling the media
Managing the media
Context:
The illusion that perpetual expansion is the only choice is created by mass media. Mass media is almost entirely dependent on advertising revenue and is therefor biased in favour of the production-consumption spiral. Furthermore, it is expensive to own mass media. It's ownership, therefore, tends to be in the hands of the small wealthy portion of the population, one group that clearly benefits from economic expansion. Through control of mass media, their world view is promoted far in excess of their proportion of the population.
