-Controlling what is seen and heard of Hip Hop culture (which includes Deejayin, Breakin, Graffitti Art, Emceein, Beatboxin, and more) to the point where we only recognize it as Drug, or Sexual, Rap, Push-Button DJs, and Simple Dance Crazes anyone could imitate, and therefore exploit.

-Destroying the "audacity" of Objective Journalism and reduced the "News" to political and corporate mouthpieces who take full advantage of primitive fears, as well as fears they have forged themselves for manipulative purposes, and dare not to speak outside of agreed upon talking points (those who do are simply dismissed and/or reputation destroyed).

-Eliminating the coverage of Protest Movements across the country. And if covered, it is ensured said protesters are "rioters", "looters", and "trouble makers" only concerned with violence and the destruction of their communities.
