From the Paper:

"Corporate media is a term of mockery used by media critics in American political conversation, particularly by progressives and leftists, to entail that the mainstream media is maneuvered by large multinational companies. The critics mention that the major nationwide networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC, and most if not all of the smaller cable channels, are in possession of large corporations: CBS Corporation, General Electric, and Disney correspondingly that they say control and clean out news that does not fit their business schema. They also dispute that the programming on Fox News Channel plainly reflects the traditional perspectives of Rupert Murdoch, who owns and heads FOX parent company News Corp., over and above Roger Ailes, the CEO of FOX News itself."
