Re: "When I say the issue is "media" not "corporate media", I don't mean that what happens with corporate media is unimportant or irrelevant, but rather that its the overall diversity...." Oh, I understand that. But what I was saying was that InfoTainment drives profits up (because it is cheap to produce), and it drives diversity and quality (in news) down. And that the ever-increasing corporate cross-ownership of media properties is the business structure that is driven by this InfoTainment profit engine.
