Great post - but please the comments about Jewish ownership being an issue should be more precise to be effective. You mean maybe global media titans like Israeli-American Saban? Who claims his Israel-first Zionism loudly and brags about influencing Presidents here? Many media companies similarly endowed with such characters, sure, but not all are so voracious in their desire for a specific program influencing the U.S.

And it's crazy to imagine anyone wonders what effect media ownership has, or compares it to book companies? After seeing Fox TV at work during the Bush years, let alone depicting foreign news?
