Here is one version: AOL/Time Warner General Electric Viacom Walt Disney Liberty Media SONY Vivendi Bertelsman News Corporation AT&T You can go to this site and click on each of the above to see who they own http://www.thenation.com/special/bigten.htmlYou can see a similar breakdown here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/giants/index.html

4. DAMN STRAIGHT! Would Bush be president if the media wasn't protecting him |
|
24/7 for all these years?
And funny, how the media can assure a president gets impeached for having a girlfriend and not wanting the world to know about his dalliance, while Bush remains protected by that same media for allowing 9-11 to happen and to start a war that was UNNECESSARY.

8. And it's Congress' fault that Big Money and Big Media have... |
|
...been allowed to fornicate; their idot bastard offspring is the infotainment that passes for today's news coverage.
And it's our fault that we keep reelecting the corrupt men who perpetrate this, the largest fraud ever committed against America.

10. That was a symptom... |
|
...of allowing merger after merger and the equation of money with speech. It was inevitable that Big Money would buy up all the speech it could, and rewrite laws to allow itself to get even bigger and less regulated.

11. He's on the money about the 6 media giants - some of them also have |
|
military-industrial complex mother companies. The others only care about the $$. It's going to be a helluva problem to fix, even if/when they reinstate the fairness doctrine.
