Naiive question about media companies' executives
Hi all. I haven't posted here in a long time because I was getting depressed from all the bad news. I"m back. Here is my naiive question: Can or will the media company executives at some point force the broadcasting or printing of the truth about Bushco ? Is the deck so stacked against them that even the most caring media executive cannot force a change ? Media folks or those knowledgeable with the media realities, please jump in. It boggles my mind to think "our media" would allow us to be completely fucked over. Thank you in advance for your time.

major media owners you will not see any change. These owners most if not all are conservative (Rupert Murdoch comes to mind) they will continue to spew the Propaganda.

I think if the democrats are ever back in control of congress than they need to do a "Ma Bell" in the Media industry...Break the monopolies up and allow for more competition...


Under the * Cabal they have allowed these owners the ability to gobble up more and more media.

Welcome Back!!:hi:

5. Yes, Media Monopolies have gotten wayyyyyy too big
Doesn;t matter if there are 500 channels if they are all owned by the same handful of companies.

We need to restore the idea that the more media owners there are the better.

3. It's rather a simple equation
1) Media owned by Multi-national corporations, they will do whatever is in their own best interests, including disseminate the news and information that they want us to hear. 2) Politicians owned by those who control the money and power. Go back to step 1.
