Pulling the veil off the media

The so-called independent Western media are actually controlled by a few giant companies, representing and serving only 1 percent of the population, says a commentary in the Chinese version of Global Times. Excerpts:

Independent media, a core concept of Western journalism, refer to privately controlled media, which are free of governments or parties in terms of ownership and finance. Western journalism believes only an independent media can be free of government or party control and maintain political neutrality.
