The Controlers of Information

Forgive me if this has been posted before but I found this link to be quite an interesting find as to which company owns what. www.thenation.com...

With the big flap over the NYT I came to the conclusion that the editor had so much control but the owner would have the ultimate responsibility should legal proceedings occur. So looking into media ownership, I found familiar names but in places I did not expect.

Excellent article. It serves as a reminder that the REAL power in media lays not with the editors, but the megaconglomerates and their shareholders. There's an old saying: He who pulls the strings, holds the power.
