Some things that could be done would be to not approve any more mega-mergers (Time Warner, et al), <a href="http://theconversation.com/the-public-says-break-big-media-monopolies-and-help-new-journalism-projects-39652" rel="nofollow">break up the media monopolies</a>, and bring a new case to the Supreme Court (with a new Obama-appointed justice) to overturn Citizens United (then some sensible campaign finance reforms could be passed by a Democratically controlled Congress).Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-23781855408163671502016-03-02T22:13:57.815-06:002016-03-02T22:13:57.815-06:00What form do think the regulation should take?What form do think the regulation should take?Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-84359266690326259132016-03-02T18:57:23.018-06:002016-03-02T18:57:23.018-06:00I do NOT hear the CEO say is it is a shame the pol...I do NOT hear the CEO say is it is a shame the political marketplace has devolved to the Trump et all level where substance and intelligent discussion are left by the curb to discuss garbage and personal crap. I hear a man who is ecstatic about it. Billions are being spent and Big Media is the recipient of a lot of that cash. Some government regulation is desperately needed, I think.Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-24141241951916293392016-03-02T16:45:44.355-06:002016-03-02T16:45:44.355-06:00hey, look, it is important to make money because t...hey, look, it is important to make money because there is cost associated with running a business. No business, unless it has the luxury of getting cost plus from the government, can survive unless the business can cover cost and overhead while making at least a moderate profit.<br /><br />What I heard this CEO say is it is a shame the political marketplace has devolved to the Trump et all level where substance and intelligent discussion are left by the curb to discuss garbage and personal crap. Personally I blame the American people for allowing the idiot savants to succeed in dumbing down America.<br /><br />But that is just me.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-7200788726469027452016-03-01T20:47:56.189-06:002016-03-01T20:47:56.189-06:00That is truly disgusting.

I have often sought truthful journalism there even after the demise of Dan Rather. I can only get three networks without paying for cable. (One of them being PBS.) I used to trust CBS. It was a big deal for me to hook up the antenna to the living room TV and watch important political debates.<br /><br />Thank you, Dervish, for some important journalism.<br />Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.com
