Time magazine's Tyrant of the Year

Exclusive: Bradlee Dean lists rogues' gallery of men 'honored' by media establishment

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
– Winston Churchill
In 1917, Rep. Oscar Callaway entered some disturbing information into the congressional record:
J.P. Morgan, a banker and a steel tycoon (1929 Time’s man of the year), hired 12 high-ranking newspapermen and asked them to determine America’s most influential newspapers. J.P. Morgan wanted to know how many newspapers that it would take to control the policy of the daily press of the United States.
The 12 found that it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, and an editor of Morgan’s choice was placed at each paper to ensure that all published information was in keeping with the new policy.

Yep, big banks and big business own the news media. It is no surprise people like Hitler or Stalin are on Time's cover since bankers supported both. Now big business has bought congress, the white house and the courts.

According to Teddy Roosevelt they were doing that in his day.

The scary part, there were only a few giant corporations back in Morgan's glory days who were rich and powerful enough to do something along those lines. The days of the empire builders who became household names. Now there are many, many more mega corps than in those days, they are even bigger, and they are multi-national.
