What are the most evil media corporations in the world?

Fox. They canceled Firefly.

• anything owned by Rupert Murdoch
• anything owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group
• anything affiliated with Fox News Media (ref. Rupert Murdoch)

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.

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.

All 5 of them.

Google owns YouTube, so it's technically a media corporation.
I'm going with Google

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

Disney, Google, Amazon, I guess Meta counts.

CCTV. Ironic China Central Television has the same acronym as closed-circuit TV.

Disney is a stupid monopoly (they also OWN Fox)

I think I'd add Spotify for basically destroying a lot of really excellent podcasts.

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.

yes

I want to throw GM in with the rest of these. Big ties with fossil fuel companies, lead poisoned a generation or two with gasoline, uncountable levels of microplastics from tire wear, not to mention all the societal issues caused by suburbanization and bulldozing neighbourhoods for highways and such. Many of these are indirect, many apply to other car companies, but GM always seems to be the worst offender of all, and doing it the most intentionally

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..
