This 'control the media' business

My favorite conspiracy theory of all time, as invoked in a recent Times article:

“We always believe here that control of America is governed by the Zionist lobby,” said Salman Kamal al-Deen, a businessman and the head of the Bahrain Human Rights Society. “The media and the money are all in the hands of the Jews. We believe if we have a Jewish ambassador and Jews in the Shura Council, this is a positive indicator for the country.”

I reiterate my response to this 'control the media' business: I invite you to visit my country between mid-November and January; turn on the radio and consider this: We are a people of taste. If we controlled the media, 'Jingle Bells' would have gone the way of the dodo years ago.
