You seem to have upped the number of major networks from 3 to a whopping 5... and I can't seem to figure out what the 5th is... the WB? Do you feel that you are effectively *defending* what the media would have us believe is diversity? The FCC regulation you speak of is clearly outlined in the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, in which the federal government considerably relaxed ownership coverage rules (hint: this means *fewer* viewpoints hitting the 'airwaves'). Anyway, you might be surprised to discover just how few control what so many see. Visit the Fairness In Accuracy and Reporting web site for some interesting insight into how incestuous the media actually is. And if you can get your hands on FAIR director Jeff Cohen's book "Unreliable Sources", do so. It's somewhat dated (early 90s?), but still a must read. I know I must sound like some sort of conspiracy theorist, but FAIR does their homework and presents all of the facts. Once you read up, you'll find yourself asking "why would the media possibly work any other way?" with, unfortunately, no good answer. It's all about money, which is good... but at the cost of honesty, which is not. Sorta creates paralles with the LinuxOne thread, although this makes LinuxOne seem not-so-scary.
