Tejek, "The theme of my address was warning other countries that they must avoid the sort of consolidation of media ownership that has led to a collapse of serious journalism in the United States." Quote of the decade. Remember our discussion about the article pulled from around 100 worldwide news outlets per google's engine? Translated: more than 100 news outlets had the same identical article. Where's the different perspective? Amy, I believe that media consolidation was part of the problem......but only part. At that time, I also think that people were afraid to question the president because of all the patriotic fervor and nationalistic BS that was in the air. It disturbs that our freedom of speech can be undermined so easily. ted
