The longer I live, the more I observe world crises, environmental disasters, reflections of man's inhumanity to man, losses, evil in the world, and so much more sorry stuff. Many people have contributed to good, and many to evil. Meet the Press recently celebrated it's 60th anniversary with pictures that raise one's memory of people who came to power before today. Look for the slide show under the Caption of Meet the Press. By viewing the pictures you can watch the lucky ones age. Less lucky, gone through attrition and old age, assassinated or other reasons are seen as they were then Time stands still for John and Robert Kennedy and some others, Indira Ghandi being one of them. Others have grown old before our eyes.
There was a time when corporate owners had a hands-off policy in directing the news. That seems to be lost today when our media has become a free-for-all, biased voice, pushing its own self-serving agendas, politics and candidates. It is reported that "the news channels play different roles within their respective companies that are useful to note in trying to imagine how they might evolve in the future. Fox News is one of the stars of News Corp.'s TV portfolio. CNN is a solid performer for Time Warner, but not an enormous factor. MSNBC, by contrast, contributes little financially to either of its parents, General Electric (the NBC of MSNBC) or Microsoft (the MS). On the one hand, that might suggest MSNBC is in a precarious position, which has led to speculation about its owners' commitment to the channel in the long term. On the other, having multiple platforms to deliver news and other content may be central to both companies' strategies." You can get a more complete report here.
