Our government kisses the arse of another dicktator: Rupert Murdoch, whose mass media empire is set to gain even more power and control over what the people can watch and read, or should that be what he wants the people to watch and read. Pluralism in the media has been sacrificed at the alter of free market capitalism in the Church of consumerism were alternative choice becomes less in a world of more, never mind changing the channel, people need to be watching a different program!
Amazes me that this hasn't caused more of a stink. Probably because the majority of non thinking white van middle England love their Sky Sports shite and rubbish news channel, so probably see it as a good thing.
