Are people REALLY ignorant of who controls Western media, or are they just playing dumb?

I keep seeing these posts like... "Why does American/Western media support Israel so much?"

First of all, the answer is incredibly obvious, so the question strikes me as stupid. But then I read all the responses, and it's just people talking about "WELL BECAUSE ISRAEL ARE THE GOOD GUIS!!"

Do people seriously not understand who owns the media in the US? I'm sure this is more common knowledge outside the US, or at least I hope so, but the American people themselves seem totally clueless.

There was an article by Joel Stein in the Los Angeles Times many years ago. Joel Stein is a Jewish man who was lamenting the fact that people won't acknowledge who owns Hollywood. The article was entitled "Who runs Hollywood? C'mon."

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents)

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood.

He makes the case pretty cleanly here. And of course, this doesn't only apply to Hollywood, but to all of Western news, including modern social media. Jeff Zucker ran CNN, Mark Zuckerberg ran Facebook, Larry Paige was CEO of Google. All Jewish.

Kanye West got in a lot of trouble for sharing the following infographic. I'm not sure if 100% of the names listed here were accurate as of 2013, but it I'm sure enough of them are to prove the point...

If you look at "right-wing" intellectuals in the US, you see guys like Ben Shapiro. If you look at "left-wing" intellectuals in the US, you see guys like Noam Chomsky. The Kosher Sandwich controls both sides of all debate, ensuring that no matter which party wins, the Jewish people win.

So I have to ask again... Are people really this clueless, or are they just playing dumb?

It is fairly obvious that most people do not think for themselves, that they accept whatever the media and the elites tell them. So I'm leaning towards "people are really this clueless." After all, what good would controlling all of Western media be, if you didn't therefore control most Western minds?
