"Mergers are good for Business"... What a load of dung. Do you really believe we'll get Not if we let'em do this
back our free, independent media?
without more fighting.

by Joe B. Well, Federal Communication Commission head Mr. Michael Colin Jr. didn’t listen to protests, questions, or logic. His "Merger are good for business" says where is head was at. What a crock of… load of …! The F.C.C. isn’t a business but a government agency to keep freaking merger’s of large multi corporations from dining on smaller entities [radio, tv, stations, and or news outlets]. Folks, I don’t know how you feel about this #^*% We can give in to the 21st century hyper theft hijacking of public airways or we can do what American’s and other freedom loving people’s have always done when having little money to fight these Giant’s. Be thousands, millions, or billions of little rainbow ants and like them begin dining on the fat over bloated carcass attacking from all sides in and out. What fool thing is Joe gabbing about now? We don’t have to listen to Creap, Clip, Crock oh, uh, Clear Channel or it Octagon, Crummcon, Globitron, Arbitron oh, uh, Orbitron stuff, you know the so called arbitrators of what we like to hear? What happens when radio’s are tuned to independent stations or tv’s to other than what corporations are playing? They go by bottom-line ratings the less people tune into their media, switch or completely turned off. It’ll take time for these fat behemoths to figure out what’s happened to their profit margins. Meanwhile stealthy underground micro radio/tv can fill in that niche. Technology is here for ultra miniaturized one or multi person station. They move, gather, and get news out faster then conglomerates with heavy business attachments. Its just something I was thinking of. There’s a couple of shows on currently but people have told me they and their friends don’t watch it there’s a kind of "cool" factor and the show may not be cool. There’s only one problem with the "Cool-with it" factor, not everyone buys into it, some of the friends may say they don’t watch to seem cool but watch anyway. That’s why Star Trek, Twilight Zone, in their current incarnations are still on the air because though at first if wasn’t cool to watch science or speculative fiction people still watched lying to their friends about what their supposedly not watching. The money that Media Corps. are using to buy up smaller media is our money! We must find ways not to give up our money if they don’t listen to their audience their money should dry up as we turn off, tune out, switch channels, otherwise see other products already done. There are DVD’s of old, and current movies, TV, series, specials, whatever was shown years past and currently. The greedy Media Maven’s make so money from video, cable, and Digital Video Disk home viewing that now we can buy maybe copy (just an idea) Lots of D V D’s, CD’s auto radio taping or buying cassette tapes seems to be what I can afford besides turning off TV and Radio and legally not having my cash go a media that thinks they’ll keep taking money, giving what they deign as education and entertainment to me as part of the masses. Right now I cannot afford a TV/D V D combo or even buy a used TV and D V D attachment so I’ll probably save money not buy anything for a few months and stick with Yoga workouts everyday. Folks, this is your public airways not corporate media’s so do what you can to bleed ‘em dry of profits by not tuning in, turning off, or switching to independent public stations. Show corporations that without influx of public money they are simply starving corpse’s. Bye For Joe only my snail mail: Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
