The problem with “Big Media”
I’ve long thought that there was a problem with TV today. The shows are more boring than ever before (e.g. reality TV) and the news is terriablly biased. If it weren’t for the Internet and talk radio I’d have a completely inaccurate view of the world.
I was happy to see an article written by someone who should know, Ted Turner, on the exact issues that I’ve thought about. In his article he addresses things like:
(1) Loss of Quality
(2) Loss of localism
and most importantly …
(3) Loss of democratic debate
He attributes these problems to Big Media and the government rules that allow this to happen. You can read the article for yourself here.
