The inevitable death of big media is really their own doing.
When five major corporations own the majority of the media, you know information has to be being controlled and manipulated.
There was a time when people had more morals in the things that they did from day to day. A time when reporters and news casters were more interested in being the ones with the most facts and the most reliable information.
Those days are long gone with the Rupert Murdock and former Ted Turner type networks these days. Now days media has become more about entertainment and political twists than it is about accuracy or facts. I myself have noticed by switching channels during the news to other news networks you often get two or three versions of the same story. You know that all three versions can not be correct when they seem to add to or contradict each other.
The corporate media would rather focus on stories about Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton than about real news about real issues that affect each and every one of us.
It appears the corporate media has become a bunch of sell outs and cowards. They are either telling the news as the government wants them to or they are telling it in a way that matches that networks political agendas.
Then you have networks like Fox that will blatantly lie rather than tell the truth and offend a advertiser or a political friend. I would have to say that you do get more accurate news on the Internet from independents and small time press than you ever will watching a corporate network . The fact of the matter is corporate media lies on a daily basis and people see through it all. This is why corporate media is and will die.
