12-17-2016: Propaganda and Political Rhetoric: runs rampant. The TV and General Media receives approximately 10 times or more the cost of a Commercial Ad when it is run with Political Overtones. In brief, in TV a Commercial, 30 second spot that cost the Advertiser $200,000 has the potential to make the TV Station $1 to $2 Million Dollars or more depending on its Non-Prime Time Placement on TV or in the Media, in which it is presented. A Prime Time 30 Second Commercial Spot average cost is $344,827.00. All the affiliates to the Station or Media Feeds, inclusive, are often big campaign contributors expecting a big return. Even if it includes the cost of American's dignity. The question is, does the payoff stop here? Who pays for the campaign contributions at the end of a election such as Hillary Clinton's $641,000,000. political campaign debt? Do Political Parties own or control media conglomerates? Of course they do. This is why i9 you look at the news you hear the same report on different programs and station, just spoken by one of the that stations Talking Heads. The News Anchor is just reading the Teleprompter. The Reporter generally has no control of the report. If the Reporter exerts control they are Fired. Is the Media immune to Anti-Trust Legislation or is it just being ignored?
