A little evidence of why the media need reforming:

"We're not in the business of providing news and information. We're not in the business of providing well-researched music. We're simply in the business of selling our customers' products."

--Lowry Mays, Clear Channel founder and CEO, Fortune interview



"A research team at Sonoma State University...determined that only 118 people comprise the memberships on the boards of director of the ten big media giants....eight of ten big media giants share common memberships on boards of directors with each other....one big happy family of interlocks and shared interests....corporate media serves its own self interests....corporate media is corporate America..."

--Peter Phillips, professor at Sonoma State University and Director of Project Censored
