Between websites, blogs, talk radio, print, television, internet radio, I think it is kind of ludicrous to say we don't have an independent media. The proper course is to identify those cases of corruption and expose the specific players in each case. To try and indict the "media" as a whole and then suggest that Congress needs to regulate is vague, extreme and reminds me of my favorite Reagan quote, "the nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm from the government and I'm here to help" I have been following the case of Grady Hospital in Atlanta and if you want to see an example of a specific case of media corruption please read this piece of mine. www.proprietornation.blogspot.com/2007/11/incredible-disappearing-story.html Whenever someone suggests that Congress should start regulating private transactions a la Congress shouldn’t allow the same people to own print and television in the same market, I wonder if that person has thought about the unintended consequences of such media regulations.
