windows media player

Stupid program that will play DVD's for some people but not for others. Completely illogical and impossible to use. Really pointless

"why the hell won't Windows media player play this DVD? It worked on my computer but not on this one."

Media Geek

A Media Geek is a prosumer pseudo-hipster. He or she probably owns a Macbook, produces a podcast, makes highly rated Youtube videos, wears Threadless t-shirts, supports piracy and writes for PitchFork Media or the Village Voice. Unlike true geeks, Media Geeks can't programme, and although they may own ironic manga figurines or wear screen printed t-shirts from 70's TV shows, they don't actually watch anime or Open University science programmes.

independent medical exam

Examination of a patient by a doctor employed by an insurance company (e.g. insurance company whore) to second guess a patient's claim. Insurance companies use the term independent to deceive the general public. The examinaitons are not "independent" per se because if a whore fails to deliver the expected goods, the whore gets no more insurance company work. Another cost savings mechanism for an insurer to make million and billions in profits. FIGHT YOUR INSURNACE COMPANY.

The insurance company used their independent medical examination to reduce my claim.

mediaopoly

The word "mediaopoly" merges the words "media" and "monopoly." Ben H. Bakdikian published his book called "The Media Monopoly" in 1983 . The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.

The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).
