Conrad Black, the disgraced press baron (sentenced to prison in 2007)
e.g.
Keith Rupert Murdoch is the best example of a press baron.
It is very interesting to read about Conrad Black, the former press baron, was sentenced to six and a half years in jail for cheating his employer in 2007, and was released from jail on bail!
The general public is made to believe what the press barons and the politicians want it to believe.
