Why The Media Wanted Trump. Why RT And Al Jazeera Are Not Alternatives To The Corporate Media

                                            There is a corporate media, not a free media. The United States is bought, sold and owned by corporations. A free and independent press died years ago. The media is not there to serve the public interest. Its first and primary goal is to make money for its shareholders. The media is about money, and money comes from ratings. The media is not about the public good, the national interest, even though that may be part of their spin.
                                            Donald trump has been great for the media. Liberal or conservative, it makes no difference. Trump is the best thing that ever happened to them, even if they personally do not like him. Trump brings to them an expanded audience and ratings they never could have imagined under a less colorful person. Trump did not have to outspend Clinton on advertisements. Trump received more free media exposure than any candidate ever.
                                             To those media outlets owned or sponsored by governments that pretend to be the alternative to the corporate press, they may deceive some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. Let us be clear- when an outlet like Russian Television(RT), or Al Jazeera (Qatar owned), shine their spotlights on the targets they do not like, but never on themselves, they become the propaganda arm of a government. They do have insightful documentaries at times, but never anything critical of what takes place in their sponsoring countries( one would think everything is perfect in Qatar and Russia, which is far from the reality). Their complete failure to ever criticize their sponsoring governments or anything that takes places inside of Russia or Qatar renders them useless as an objective media source and as an alternative to the corporate press.
                                            A small number of media conglomerates own and control most of what people daily access. The world gets shaped by their corporate vision and eagerness to earn money and have high ratings. The alternative is no alternative, which are the government sponsored propaganda media outlets that endlessly spin news and programs against what their sponsoring governments do not like, and never anything against their sponsoring government masters. How unfortunate the media is controlled by big money and certain governments, and served fresh by corporate and government sponsored lackeys.
