=have posted below about the media ecology die-off... what we will be left
=with, like in finance, will be a few very large corporations, almost nothing
=in between, and many, many tiny micro media enterprises

No middle class; no independent businessmen with limited access to markets,
especially distant continental and export, for those left, limited access to materials
(witness Monsanto's wiping out the independent seed cleaning operations in the Heartland
so broadacre farmers will not be able to save their own seeds), high fuel costs,
inflation.

=advertisers will have increased power in this new media landscape, with

More garbage media.

=increased product placements and effect over programming... the public

Watch microsoft's new ad on public tv.

=relations industry will become even more of a dominant force

Propaganda, pure and simple.
