Hi Pat,
I agree. Unfurtunately to paraphrase today's Non Sequitor comic strip: There will be no real News because corporate interests have bought up all the media and they don't want us to know what's happening in the world except via their spin. That also increasingly is true of public broad cast, and has been true of Radio for some time, with the exception of the pirate stations(some progress may be taking place with small independents, time will tell if new laws will be written by the people or corporations). At present the internet seems to be the last best hope for real News.
Thanks for the posting on this subject about the forces of major manipulation and influences in our lives.
