Franklin Mancuso's Letters To The Editor - Main Index

Link to the Latest Series

"... the Mainstream Media is owned by media conglomerates whose numbers decrease each year. By the end of the year 2000, the number of media conglomerates may be reduced from eight such organizations down to seven. We are moving rapidly towards monopoly control of the media, and I would argue, towards the monopoly control of the free expression of news, opinions and beliefs. And this is the free expression we must have if we are to continue being a country with a representative government." [Franklin Mancusco - 2000 email: franklin at netmagic dot net]
