The power of the media, especially when controlled by a few very rich and powerful persons is enormous, dangerous and completely unjustifiable. The existence of social and political democracy is impossible in the absence of a democratic and diverse media. Media concentration is a threat to every democracy and civil society.

Wiki gives a light cheap gloss over important ideas. Since it censored by the CIA and other advertizing and commercial industries no educator ought to take it as being even close to accurate. Google is a fair tool if used with caution. No journalist ought to be the farm on anything found on the web.I question blogging while welcoming the freedom that the bloggers have. The stream of consciousness school of journalism I belong to is dangerous in the hands of the unwary Agee, Gosling, Thomas Wolf, Moorcock and Dr. Thompson all paid heavy dues for making the news flow into and then out of a personal reality. The Wiki is a large collection of fan articles not a source. Google is only good if there is a wide slime trail behind the slug one is stalking. A critic is after an analyst not a parrot.
