Media mesh!

Rupert Murdoch the media mogul has won a bid to buy the Dow Jones,the venerable independent financial daily run by the Bancroft family.In the Bahamas a similar thing is going on where two dailies have made a joint management agreement.Here in the Bahamas there is an outcry of a monopoly being created but only by a few individuals.

Deals such as these to me ,seem to weaken the "Fourth Estate".How can these media forms offer fresh unbiased opinions when one person writes their checks.In this age where public opinion is that the media has failed us all and has moved from giving us clear unbiased facts so that we can formulate opinions to trying to get us to think their way.

When will these situations,especially with Murdock be investigated.Aren't there anti monopoly laws in place?Or do they kick in after the fact that so many have been brainwash and an entire industry approaches near collapse because of the lack of competition.Something needs to be done before it is too late. We should not intrude on private business matters, but we must when it will greatly affect the general public in a negative way.A few should not make many suffer.

Wake up people!Organize!
