(Natural News) If you have ever wondered why television “news” is constantly interrupted by advertising for the latest drug offerings from Big Pharma, look no further than Blackrock and Vanguard, two of the world’s largest asset management companies, which just so happen to own both the drug industry and the media.
BlackRock and Vanguard are currently the top two owners of Time Warner, Comcast, Disney and News Corp.

Though most people have never heard of them, BlackRock and Vanguard are also the silent monopoly owners of many other facets of the economy. They are said to hold ownership in some 1,600 American firms which, as of 2015, held combined revenues of $9.1 trillion.
