> The Resounding Silence Continues. How Much is Enough for the Media to Cover Votergate 2004?

Why would ANYONE be surprised by this? All major media, controlling everything that you see, hear and read, are in the hands of under a dozen mega-conglomerates. Sumner Redstone has already come out for the Republicans, perceiving rightly that they will give him even more opportunities for consolidation and increase of revenue. The unalterable fact that this is a travesty and a breach of faith with the American people never even enters into the equation. The end result, however, will be even wider distrust of mainstream media resulting in erosion of readership and viewership as more and more people turn to independent media that are beholden to NO political or commercial interest. Redstone and his ilk have traded short-term gain for grave long-term loss.
