A social relation of production appears as something existing apart from individual human beings, and the determined relations into which they enter in the course of production in society appear as the specific properties of a thing - it is this perverted appearance, this prosaically real, and by no means imaginary, mystification that is characteristic of all forms of labour positing exchange-value.
As previously
diaried, the insertion of right-wing media into the regular menu of programming choice is a regular feature of the otherwise coded conservatism of MSM. This television channel attempting global outreach via satellite distribution and cable, One America News, continues on a much wider platform as the infrastructure of
co-mingled religious and tithed secular capital inserts itself into another ideological realm less obvious than the eponymous
CBN. One person's Halliburton is another's Tongil, and
challenging Fox News will be more about a duopoly than competition.
Hegemony in the media is never about accountability or credibility and
totalizing discourse can always use more
audiences-as-networked-commodities, although oddly, some of The Colbert Report seems to have rubbed off on OAN's production design. One America, One World Order - who said world domination was easy with a
500-channel Smörgåsbord where there will be
nanobots in your sushi!

In 2012, December 19, the candidate Park Geun-hye, with the support of the Unification Church, became the first female President of South Korea...
Tongil Group is a South Korean business group (chaebol “Tongil” is Korean for “unification,” the name of the Unification Church in Korean is “Tongilgyo.”), founded in 1963 by Moon as a nonprofit organization which would provide revenue for the church. Its core focus was manufacturing but in the 1970s and 1980s it expanded by founding or acquiring businesses in pharmaceuticals, tourism, and publishing. Among Tongil Group’s chief holdings are: The Ilwha Company, which produces ginseng and related products; Ilshin Stone, building materials; and Tongil Heavy Industries, machine parts including hardware for the South Korean military.
Chaebols run the South Korean economy and its MIC much like Japan’s ‘integrated national system’ notwithstanding its colonization of Korea after 1876.
And, of course, Tongil donates to the church, though how much, and whether by personal or corporate channels, is not clear. Link
