Twenty-five years ago media outlets were owned and controlled by over 50 separate companies.
Today it's six. And all are owned by ultra-rich, ultraconservatives who do not appear afraid to impose their own bias.
Don't believe that or in their collective power? - ask Dan Rather.
Just about the time they figured out how to control TV, radio, newspapers and magazines with media consolidation - along comes the internet.
- Insert the Hallelujah Choir here -
I don't think anyone will ever be able to completely control it - so we must all learn how to use it to its fullest.
I encourage you to abandon old habits - TV, newspapers and get your information elsewhere
at the very least supplement it with the net.
Sounds easy - but I find that it actually takes discipline and a conscious effort
Old habits die hard but new ones can be oh so rewarding
