Did Hitler (gov) "own the media" or was it corp. benefiting from his work?

Like we have today with Bushler... the media (owned by corporations

that benefit from war) refuses to ask the tough questions.


If Hitler enjoyed the same "freedom"... we should not forget the past.

1. To sort of catapulting the propaganda

He even mass produced a cheap and affordable radio receiver called
"Volksempfänger". Listening to for example the BBC was "verboten"
And because the BBC was so stupid to use the start of Beethoven's 5th
as intro, German listeners often went to jail as traitors.

2. Classical Fascism vs. Post-Fascism

In classical fascism, industry remained in private hands but was told what to do by the government. Dr. Goebbels, as propaganda minister, by law had the authority to censor any and all messages, print or broadcast.

The phenomena in our society is different. The main outlets of information have fallen into fewer and more homogeneous hands in the last several decades. If the owners decide it's not in their interests to let the public know something, the public can only find out what that is with some difficulty. Some have come to call this "corporate censorship". There is no government censorship; however, Amy Goodman, one of those to whom we turn to get what the mainstream media doesn't tell us, rightly asks whether it would make any difference if the government were censoring the media.

Censorship, whether directed by the government or the corporation itself, is anti-democratic. Democracy assumes that citizens will be given facts with which they can make informed decisions. Censorship assumes that there are facts the public is better off not knowing.

3. You are absolutely correct considering print media.

Public broadcast practically didn't exist before Hitler.
But Göbbels recognized the value of radio as a propaganda outlet and built the radio network so that nearly every German family had a radio.

4. either way... it's all illegal... the MSM is clearly self censoring
