Synchronistic happenings...

Yeah, so the last post, the one about the media and competition and whatnot...I was on my way to work this morning, listening to NPR, and there's this guy going off about competitive programming, he's saying things like "yeah, and the viewers can't choose to pay for the programming that they want", and, "many shows nowadays foster such a competitive atmosphere. Then, in the latest NEW YORKER, there is an article that I haven't read in it's entirety yet, but is related to PBS and how the network has negotiated big money deals with right wing interests. So scratch PBS off of the list of "independent" television networks. I'll explain that whole horatio alger thing later. And while I couldn't find a link to that PBS article (trust me, it's there), I did find a link to an amusing column about the "armchair warrior"....go now. So anyway, writing about media control and then the very next day being hit with those two related tidbits was kinda crazy...'tis great when that happens.
