Big media's assault on democracy

BIG MEDIA'S ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY
[SOURCE: The Seattle Times, AUTHOR: Ryan Blethen]
[Commentary] "Enough" is a word that means little to corporate media. The few bloated companies that remain atop the media food-chain have crossed the line from growing profits to actively pushing rule and law changes that will wound our nation. These mega-companies move from one industry to the next in the name of consolidation, driven by a Wall Street appetite that demands more every quarter. Companies once devoted to a particular sector are now behemoths that have control over almost everything read, watched or listened to.
