Graph 1: ??
Graph 2: ?? You obviously do not grasp the details of Watergate.
Graph 3: Who cares? A bunch of conspiracy junk.

Graph 5: And what's the point? There's enough media companies to ensure
diversity and competition, which happens every day.
Graph 6: This is really ludicrous and makes no sense.

Indeed, no grand conspiracy... well at least not at these levels of
examples...
Watergate had so many circles running for so many reasons it is
impossible to dicipher what even happened... as if taping some folks
was that big of a deal that made impeachment necessary...
not to overflow with political zest, however, the media is doing very
little, if anything to publicize Shumer's and other politicos
requestiong a national ID card.... Carnivore has been minimized in the
news... Mexico's open border talks with Bush, yes absent in the US
media too.. and heck... how about that gold...
It is the same old tired walmartesque repetition...
So how many major media companies are there in the united states? How
many companies produce all the textbooks our children read? What do
these countries own?
Amazing how our publishers write things in selective fashion, with
their joint agreement on historical perversions... lots of conspiracy
therein...undoubtedly...
there are good people with there heads screwed on, but you wont find
them at ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, or CNN as examples.
