MEDIA IMPERIALISM

Like it is obvious from what we learn in the media culture lecture that media IMPERIALISM is a Monopoly of information for institutions, governments or corporations belong in the end to only one owner who has control over the content of the media and usually hides what he want or fabricates it to serve his own needs. For example the documentary movie (The Power of Nightmares - The Shadows in the Cave 3) shows that this kind of media limits our view in the concept of terrorism and al-Qaeda. American government tried to convince the world that Osama Bin Laden is hidden in the mountains in Afghanistan and they spend millions and used the latest weapons to blow up the region. Although all the ex-soldiers conform that there is no trace of any one there, they just arrest any one just look like Arabs without providing any evidence. and also Donald Rumsfeld (United States Secretary of Defense ) affirmed that al-Qeada had a secret base containing bed rooms, offices, secret exits, ventilation system, computer system , telephone system, ……etc however none of these basements were ever found. Mostly, the word (Terrorism) was used only to achieve political interests. All the Accusations that made against young men whose name were listed in the terrorists list or in the news and those who have imprisoned in Guantanamo, all of which happened without evidence. Yet they were accused like they did in 9/11. The terrorism as idea exists but as an organization is not, and that is so far because of the media imperialism.
