Murdoch's finally convinced enough Bancrofts to sell.

Quote:

Because the increasing consolidation of US Media Sources into one or two companies allows a small select group of people to control national press coverage?

My thoughts exactly.

My pops swears by the paper as it comes on the doorstep every morning, but I swear by the internet. Its easier to choose where I am getting information from, though that hardly makes any news 'spinless'. As long as there is a story that requires funding to print, there is an agenda behind it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That has nothing to do with the Freedom of the Press. I mean, it does, but when I hear someone invoking Freedom of the Press, I think government infringement, which is all I really give a damn about.

What private corporations do, as long as it doesn't adversely affect me or others, I could really give a shit about. If Murdoch has the money and the willingness to buy and others have the willingness to sell, what's the fucking problem?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
