According to FUNKTIONARY:

mass media - "Massa' Media. Massa's media plus + Mass Hypnosis = Mindless Masses. 2) The "Mess" Media. 3) wholesale re-tale--retelling the whole tale (propaganda) exactly as you're told, consistently and relentlessly. How can you possibly relate when you are framed by the very debate wherein you are an unwilling spectator? Let's be perfectly cleat on this. There's no counter-option or outlet to vent when you're under the controlled thoughtform of mass-think manufactured consent. "Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one." -A.J. Liebling. (See: Media, T.V., Mass, Alienation, Spectacle Society, NEWS, ABCTV, Propaganda, Legislation & The New God Economy)

Dependent Media - Establishment (dependent) media is both unwilling and incapable of reporting events truthfully, accurately or without extreme bias. News coverage is just that - covering up (masking) and distorting the events and those wielding power behind the events (those reported and deliberately unreported). News coverage has simply become “disinfotaiment” with the sole purpose of perception and knowledge containment as well as reality concealment. You report in the interests of those who are paying you to do so. (see MEDIA, NBC & NEWS).
