ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Military–industrial–media complex

The military–industrial–media complex is like three big circles made up of people, companies, and organizations that all work together. The first circle is the military. It includes all the soldiers, the people who teach them, and the companies that build things they need like tanks and guns. The second circle is the industrial part, which includes companies that make things like clothes, food, and other supplies for the military. The last circle is the media, which is made up of newspapers, radio, and television stations that tell everyone what's going on with the military. All of these different parts of the military–industrial–media complex work together to support the military.
