Yeah true. I was very sleep deprived when I wrote that, and couldn't be bothered to check it. My post was obviously a very large generalization, with
media being such a broad term, my main point being that the bottom line is money. I think my biggest problem with the current state of the media, is the lack of independent outlets, with giants such as Murdoch's News Corp helping to quieten smaller voices.
