"Following the same course that virtually every other major industry has in the last two decades, a relentless series of mergers and corporate takeovers has consolidated control of the media into the hands of a few corporate behemoths.

Moreover, the whole process has happened ON PURPOSE. The absolute lack of investigative reporting in this country, coupled with the intentional media black-out of information which does not support the Administration's agenda - has led to the collapse of our democratic society. We can no longer control our government. We now serve it - and that is dangerous. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
