In relation to what we discussed in class yesterday (10/4) - "The Rupert Murdoch-owned media giant News Corporation has donated another one million dollars to a business coalition campaigning against Democrats in the midterm elections. News Corp.’s holdings include Fox News Channel, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. The donation to the Chamber of Commerce comes just two months after Murdoch made a $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association." - Democracy Now
I have to wonder how self-censored our press really is....politically-censored or corporate-censored perhaps. I'm also not sure I agree power has been dispersed but rather concentrated among a small, elite few though in each different industry or sector perhaps.
On another note - exciting news on Monsanto for all those who share our groups distaste: Monsanto shares plunge on concerns about corn seeds (about time!)
