Plus, don't hear much about Media Reform these days in posts on DU. It was a huge topic in the former days on DU. Many of us from those early days (who saw the rise in influence of Big Money and Consolidation of Ownership) either cut the Cable Cord or sought out online sources for our news. And, the devices now available to watch other sources on our laptops or TV have made more sources available but it's still not enough. We need to take back our media because the bias and sometimes outright propaganda still has more people watching it for news and information than all of our alternative sources. Money in our Government, Citizens United and Deregulation has allowed our Govt. and Media to be bought by those who don't have any interests except themselves at heart.

Glad to see John Nichols reporting on the Big Money. Will check out his latest from your post.
