But then of course those are just the major owners and CEO's. Minus Rupert Murdoch, I'm not aware that any of them really dictate any political themes of the content of their news programming. Nor am I aware that any of them are involved in an international Jewish conspiracy (Richard Parsons is actually African-American).
