An episode of The Simpsons - You Kent Always say what you want - aired recently mocked big corporations for changing news coverage to suit themselves. TV anchorman Kent Brockman was forced to interview Homer Simpson, who had bought the millionth ice cream cone from a local shop, mockingly saying that an item on the Arab-Israeli conflict is what you will not hear. The ice cream company is owned by the same corporation that owns the TV channel
Brockman swears on air (because Homer spills a hot drink on him) and is sacked. With Lisa's help he starts making videos for the web in which he makes comments against the military industrial complex, in which there are corporations that own weapons manufacturing companies and TV channels.
