oh, no question there. yep. a giant donkey dick with many heads, for more convenient sucking. but it's just another sign of enormo-multinational conglomerates owning *nearly* all the media in the world...bagdikian was predicting this decades ago in the first edition of "the media monopoly"--that there's only going to be five-six companies who own and run this shit before long. well, guess what. ;) then as we know, you have giant defense contractors also into media ownership. nah, the news couldn't be skewed or anything. :D but this is just the kind of shit that keeps people stupid, believing they're getting the full and true story when nothing could be further from reality...it's also the kind of shit that gives me bowel tumors. (one of the reasons why i got out of media--the paycheck just somehow couldn't overcome the rectal bleeding inherent in being a tool of the man!) :)
