Does anyone else sense Hillary's fine hand in this?
WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) - When the Democratic Party takes up its platform next week at the presidential nominating convention in Boston, one of the planks it will consider is media concentration. While the one-sentence statement is buried deep in the 41-page document, its supporters contend that it is a recognition by the party that big media is becoming a threat to democracy. "Because our democracy thrives on public access to diverse sources of information from multiple sources, we support measures to ensure diversity, competition and localism in media ownership," the proposed platform plank states. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., who helped get the plank in the platform proposal said the 27-word statement points out a big difference between the two parties.
Considering that the majority of the TV media is clearly in favor of a Kerry/Dhimmocrat win in November [vis the utter lack of mention that what Berger did is a highly prosecutable offense not to mention endangering national security not to mention being a cover-up worthy of having its own ****-gate moniker] Considering the Leftie support of "Out-Foxed" Considering Marxist Missy Hilla-the-Hun's conviction that even the Lovely Interweb ought to be "controlled" to "prevent people from saying irresponsible things..." This bears closer scrutiny than it is getting. If we somehow screw the pooch as citizens and allow *anyone* to gain further control of 'media,' bloggers will be next. UPDATE: to be clear, I fully agree with the concept as stated -- it's just the agenda, motivations, personalities, plans and executions I distrust.
