a small list of big media

This table is based on my earlier entry from Nikki Finke's LA Weekly article and other sources. It is fairly incomplete at this point and needs additional information, but it's a decent start.

MEDIA OUTLETS	CORPORATE PARENT	CEO	POLITICAL LEANINGS
ABC television and radio networks, Disney Studios	Disney	recently Michael Eisner, now Bob Iger	Eisner refused to distribute Fahrenheit 9/11. The ABC radio network is almost non-stop right-wing talk. I don't know a lot about Iger at this point.
CBS, Paramount Studios	Viacom	Sumner Redstone	While Redstone is one of the few democrats in his position he has stated "Viacom is my life, and I do believe that a Republican administration is better for media companies than a Democratic one."
NBC, MSNBC, Universal Studios	G.E.	Jeffrey Immelt	An avowed Republican, Immelt turned MSNBC into a Fox News clone that promoted the war in Iraq - all the while G.E. stood to gain billions of dollars worth of contracts there.
Fox Televison, Fox News, Twentieth Century Fox Studios	NewsCorp	Rupert Murdoch	To say Rupert Murdoch leans to the right is like saying the Grand Canyon is a hole in the ground. Fox News alone is more than enough evidence of the corporation's political bent.
CNN, the WB, Warner Brothers Studios	Time Warner	Dick Parsons	Parsons is personally a Republican, but I don't know much else about him. More info to come.
