What in the above makes you think I'd be at all comfortable with a media monopoly? Not so. Rather, my objection to monopolisation of media is rooted in concerns other than freedom of expression. Or, in the terms I used above: It is not freedom of expression which imposes the obligation to avoid monopolisation of media. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
