From The Vault: Conspiracy Theory Rock – Media-opoly



According to Urban Dictionary, the above video is a Saturday Night Live skit written by Robert Smigel which was intended to be a parody of the educational cartoon series “School House Rock.” The stimulus for the video, according to a few sources I read, may have been the firing of Norm McDonald by SNL management.

Its message is focused on the impact of media-opolies going on in the US, the fact that companies such as GE, Westinghouse, Disney have become our country’s media giants. It was aired just once on 3/14/1998 on NBC, cut out of all the reruns, and never aired again. The fact that NBC is owned by GE may or may not be a coincidence.

Lyrics below

It’s a media-opoly
A media-opoly.
The whole media is controlled by a few corporations
thanks to deregulation by the FCC.

You mean Disney, Fox, WestingHouse, and good ol GE?
They own networks from CBS to CNBC.
They can use them to say whatever they please,
and put down the opinions of any one who disagrees.
Or stuff about PCB’s.


What are PCB’s?
They come from power plants built by WestingHouse and GE.
They can give you lots of cancer that can hurt your body,
but on network TV, you rarely hear anything bad about the nuclear industry.

Like when WestingHouse was sued for fraud?
Which time?
GE made defective bolts.
It was an unreported crime.
Or when it was boycotted for robbing nuclear bomb plants
just to sqeeze a dime.

That’s a footnote by the way.
A footnote protects you from folks who doubt what you say.
Now maybe the voices in my head will go away.

But the bigshots don’t care.
They’re all sitting pretty.
Thanks to corporate welfare.
What’s that now?

They get billions in subsidies
from the government
.
It’s supposed to create jobs,
but that’s not how it’s spent.

They use PACs and soft money
to support congressmen
who will vote for weapons programs
again and again
and let them dump toxic waste where the young ones play.
GE made the bullets that shot JFK.

You contribute to this chain every time you buy a product
sponsered on this show.
That’s what NBC doesn’t want you to know.

So the next time… BEEP
Please stand by.
Please stand by.

It means there’s technical difficulties
supposedly,
so if you see
a “Please Stand By“,
you know it’s all part of GE’s big lie.

Why’d they take Norm MacDonald away?


Because he made too many jokes about O.J.,
but Lorne Michaels overruled.
Now don’t be fooled.
He and Marion Barry
went to the same high school.
