It has come to my knowledge that News Coporation, headed and owned by Rupert Murdoch, owns and controlls a mojority of news and information television shows, and news papers. This is very troubling for me, because when I Imagine getting well developed, objective news, I don't imagine getting it from the same place. Todays news has become completely dissallusioned with what is important, and actively seeks out to cover up what could be potentially harmfull to large corporations, and I'm sick of important and truthfull information being stiffled, merely because it would be to controversial or upsetting to the general public. Thats exactly what the news should do- if there is something that would make me feel astonished or upset (and I don't mean trivial information, like celebrity deaths), I-want to know about it, and I want my news to show me things, not tell me things. Polotics have become so caddy, so fake and disconnected because we have people merely talking about issues rather than investigating them. What does everyone else think?
