"If democracy in this country is to continue to be “Of the People, By the People, For the People”, America needs the Fourth Estate back. This country depends on the media for governmental checks and balances. For too long, the media have been preoccupied with their own checks and account balances. Citizens must demand the return of purveyors of truth. Democracy depends on it."
The article focuses on the U.S. media "monopoly," but what does Puerto Rico have? Three daily newspapers, one of which is on the verge of shutting down, while the other two are owned by the same cartel, a cartel that is the single-largest investor in Our largest bank, and said cartel has sold its two newspapers to a Chilean company, whose full takeover of Our newspapers is slated for 2010.
Oh, as an aside: 6 of the 7 judges on Our Supreme Court come from the cartels' long-engaged law firm. The odds that 6 of over 9,000 lawyers/judges would randomly come from one single law firm--not even the largest law firm--are laughingly small. But who's laughing about that?
