The central management is the government which largely acts as the management committee to resolve disputes between large capitalists.
Not quite what I mean. The way that control is orchestrated between the whole apparatus for the moves of the machine to function synchronously (media support of wars, wars happening in a way that benefits the largest companies, etc.).
For example, the way that even CNN seems to just be reading from a script re: manufacturing consent for the Palestinian genocide. It's beyond something like "they'll lose their White House press credentials if they don't play nice".
For sure, there is a lot of coordination happening. We can see some of that revealed with the usaid debacle where it turned out that a lot of "independent" media was actually state funded.
