I only wish that I could cancel my non-existent subscription in protest. The "capitalist tool" is already infamous for giving its advertisers a high level of "editorial voice" which is pretty much in line with the emerging doctrine of corporate "personhood" and other niceties of the brave new world, so I guess we better get used to it.
This probably means that a few corporate advertisers and trade groups already control most of the content of this magazine in hidden ways, including silencing voices which threaten the various hegemonies - not just oil. How long before all magazines give the same level of control - abdicating any sense of fairness or journalistic responsibility, and just as openly? The unification of advertising and journalism is scary, to say the least, but actually using that kind of influence to silence other voices is scarier. Forbes certainly appears to wants to be the frontrunner in moving the bar beyond even "personhood" . Malcolm would be so proud of little Stevie. "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."-Malcolm S. Forbes. Jones From: mark.gi...@gmail.com Ladies and Gentlemen, Following my last post to my blog on Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2013/07/23/defkalion-demonstrates-len r-live-right-now/) my tenure with that organization has come to an end. Before the conspiracy theorists proclaim that it was due to my ongoing interest in LENR be aware that there is no (obvious) evidence for that conclusion and it probably owes more to editorial policy and poor communication than anything overtly conspiratorial. I will still cover any significant LENR developments in my Network World blog (http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/96) but the focus there is considerably different so unless it has a significant bearing on IT the topic won't get covered. Thanks for all your plaudits, criticisms, and comments in my Forbes postings over the last couple of years. Regards, Mark Gibbs.
