Product Tie-Ins
Anyone else out there vaguely bothered about how media mega-conglomerates shamelessly advertise their own products, on different stations or even in different media, as "news"? I mean, how much coverage of King Kong, a Universal picture, get on the Today show, which is on NBC, which is owned by NBC-Universal? How hard is CNN pushing Time's "Person of the Year," when they are both owned by the same company? And I haven't checked, but seeing how much coverage Howard Stern's move to Sirius radio has received on NBC and its cable stations, it's my belief that Sirius must be owned by NBC-Universal.
Anybody?

Emery, don't you understand: we live in a post-Communist post-9/11 world. It's now no longer acceptable to even be 'vaguely bothered' by late modern corporate capitalism. Capitalism is GOOD, you see. To be 'bothered' by it (even vaguely) is to court disaster.
