Ted Turner on media consolidation
Here is an interesting essay from Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, on media consolidation and its effects on diversity, quality and localism of news production and democratic debate. Being an active player in the media business all the way from 1960s he knows what he is talking about. Definitely worth reading.

there's a special place in hell for those freaks who allow and encourage this type of brutal consolidation. corporate enablers like fcc commissioner michael powell and utah senator orrin hatch come grimly to mind. if the people cannot make their own elected officials stop the rape of their culture (and it doesn’t look like we’re having much success in that dept) then we’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way, by revolt. that’s essentially the p2p movement. it may not be obvious but every time a 9 year girl uploads some barbie stuff she’s inching her granddaughters closer to their own emancipation.

Cnn ~~ Fox ?
I think that there is a special place for those who believe in either of those propaganda mills. CNN has been getting away with it forever. FOX is rather refreshing with their rant.
As much as everybody loves to say how much they hate Bill Gates, MSNBC is the straightest shooter when it comes to reporting news lately. |
