(If you hadn’t replied, Josh would have won it. He said Evan “Hannibal” Jones said it, which is true, as far as it goes.)

I do think there were limits about ownership, but I don’t know the rules, or if they’ve changed. I think that fewer news outlets in each market is fast becoming the reality in many parts of the country, which makes the multi-channel national news orgs even more powerful. If your city or town loses its paper, as is happening more and more frequently in bigger and bigger cities, you have no choice but to turn to Cable news, or the Times, Wall St. Journal or… gag… USA Today.

Who needs a minute-by-minute breakdown of how people are wasting their time, their lives and their energies? How about just living, doing, accomplishing? Without millions looking on?

And word monopolies disturb me. I must have been asleep when the rules changed about owning more than one type of news medium? Enlighten me, please, as I’m obviously also hopelessly naive.

F.R.
