Have you ever noticed that different newspapers have the same headlines? That when flipping through television news that all the reporters are standing on the same corners, all the weather reports at the same times? Where is the choice? It is amazing and pathetic how identical these "different" sources have become.
December 18th may mark an important milestone in the decline of news diversity already held sabotage. In the face of strong criticism, the FCC is continuing their march to allow major media conglomerates further consolidation.
Limiting sources of information will always limit the intelligence to make proper decisions. While history proves the importance of information, even the recent past provides example. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. (Ach-hem WMD's!)
The only practical value I can find from conglomeration is it's eventual demise..... when people demand truth otherwise unavailable through the system. Too bad that likely means civil war.
