Net gains b y Cory Doctorow

Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Editorial / Opinion / Op-ed / Net gains: "But the consolidation of media in recent years -- a series of intermarriages consecrated by the FCC -- has created a panic among tube-feeding activists like myself. Increasingly, the opportunity to define the 'truth' has been concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. What's more, the new Media Hyperbarons are corporations of such colossal wealth and power that they are guaranteed to support the status quo that gave rise to them."
