Fox. They canceled Firefly.
Almost as evil as canceling Firefly: Their “news” channel perpetuating conspiracy theories, fascist talking points, and outright lies.
Oh yeah, Firefly! My dad lives that show!
Damn. That’s dedication.
Warner Bros, they didn’t just cancel things, they scrubbed things just for tax breaks.
And they also canceled Final Space, bastards.
Didn’t they not just cancel Final Space, but will also make sure it isn’t available anywhere?
They sure as fuck did, they did that to a lot of their content but Final Space was one of the first and what I was actually really into and single handedly made WBD rise to the top 3 of my personally most hated companies list
I love Final Space - never being able to watch the proper ending, because execs & profit is sad.
- 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

- Sinclair did so well, Amazon decided to follow: 11 Local TV Stations Pushed the Same Amazon-Scripted Segment
The Sinclair video is expertly edited.
Sure, to get them to speak in unison. They did all read from the same script though. It wouldn’t be as viscerally creepy without the editing, but I would say the situation is as bad as the video makes it seem.
Absolutely, I’m only commending the effort. It can’t be easy just to gather this many clips from different sources, let alone edit them like this to both highlight the problem and maintain the viewer’s attention - all without saying or explaining anything. It’s obvious from just watching it. It’s a masterpiece.
Oh, agreed!
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.”
All 5 of them.
As of 2022, the largest media conglomerates in terms of revenue are Comcast NBCUniversal, The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount Global.
Nestlé
Monsanto
Not media, but very bad.
Derp, I missed the “media” in the title… My bad Its been a morning already.
Monsanto is now fully owned by Bayer. Who are also evil
Not evil enough. Can’t even get good heroin anymore.

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.
That sound horrible. Do you have a source?

Tencent.
CCTV. Ironic China Central Television has the same acronym as closed-circuit TV.
Fox, meta, google
Disney, Google, Amazon, I guess Meta counts.
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.
I think I’d add Spotify for basically destroying a lot of really excellent podcasts.
yes
