Fox. They canceled Firefly.
Almost as evil as canceling Firefly: Their "news" channel perpetuating conspiracy theories, fascist talking points, and outright lies.
It is so fucking ironic that they're in the leftist side in my 3rd world country.
Damn. That's dedication.
Warner Bros, they didn't just cancel things, they scrubbed things just for tax breaks.
And they also canceled Final Space, bastards.
Fox is not Big Damn Heros
propaganda mouthpieces run by some dictator are a known factor whereas this list are trying to actively undermine the political process
There was a video a few years back of Sinclair(?) or something that had all the networks they owned say the same thing, and it was very dystopian.
News Corp. and The Daily Mail and General Trust seem pretty evil. (In fact, let’s just say every company that owns a UK tabloid is at least 80% evil.)
Sinclair Broadcasting in the U.S. is scum too. They own a bunch of local TV channels and also their corresponding web sites. A lot of places in the U.S. have seen their local newspaper disappear (or shrink to where it might as well have) and Sinclair filled the void and pushes right wing tabloid crap.
Local TV news in the U.S. is low key one of the worst offenders at creating false narratives. I live in a city and half my older relatives think I live in a war zone because of how local news is now structured: violent crime, a story about the moral panic du jour (like “Is your teen eating Tide Pods?”) followed by sports, traffic, and weather. I’m probably a million times more likely to be killed by a car than murdered but they only cover car accidents if it’s like, “Prom queen dies in accident.”
I think people seriously underestimate how much disney controls western values.
Yyyyyes and no
Given how strongly Disney and their subsidiaries support LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights, I'm gonna say that they don't have nearly enough control.
They are a company, they don't support anything. They only look out for the most profitable paths to make money. Just last week Disney started giving donations to the Republican party again
All 5 of them.
As of 2022, the largest media conglomerates in terms of revenue are Comcast NBCUniversal, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount Global.
No question about this here would be complete without mentioning that the reason the myth persists that lemmings commit suicide out of natural instinct is that people shooting a Disney nature documentary wanted footage of lemmings doing this and disgruntledly pushed thousands of them off a ledge when it was discovered they don't do this because it would get them that footage.
That sound horrible. Do you have a source?
Google owns YouTube, so it's technically a media corporation.
I'm going with Google
Don't be evil !
If I worked at Google I 100% would have had the same policy. I thought the controversy was not grounded.
Sinclair.
Tencent.
Fox, meta, google
Yes..
I immediately thought of Meta, but it's a vast tapestry of evil out there. Maybe I should aim for a Top 5 Desert Island Evil Media List. Or we could do something like a Letterman Top 10.
Nestlé
Monsanto
Not media, but very bad.
Derp, I missed the "media" in the title... My bad Its been a morning already.
Monsanto is now fully owned by Bayer. Who are also evil
Disney, Google, Amazon, I guess Meta counts.
CCTV. Ironic China Central Television has the same acronym as closed-circuit TV.
They're closed-circuit, alright.
Disney is a stupid monopoly (they also OWN Fox)
I think Disney bought 21st century fox (the movie studio) *and the tv shows, but Fox News remains their own entity.
there is a lot to criticize Disney for, but at least they are not pushing hateful and harmful content like Fox News (which is the only part of Fox that Disney doesn't own), the Sinclair Group or some state-owned media like Russia Today does
I think I'd add Spotify for basically destroying a lot of really excellent podcasts.
yes
Fox, Sinclair, Google and Disney are all fair choices in the thread, but every country has their local evil media companies too.In Germany Axel Springer and the Bild-Zeitung are at least in the "Also ran category" for most evil media company.
Deleted this, I missed a word in the title lmao
In the world ?! That's very broad... The news depend on the context so if we want to be objective about this we need to look at every country's news outlets..
