Boy, couldn't have said it better

Except of course they don't own "everything" and don't controll "all" access
to radio. But for the uninformed, let me add the FCC has allowed a lot more
consolidation in media and a lot of smaller independents have been forced out
of the radio market. One outfit, Clear Channel, is taking over in many
markets, including billboards. Read the print at the bottom of some next time
you're on the road. Says Clear Channel. Also, cross ownership of stock and
interlocking boards of directors, not to mention advertising billions, make
many media corporations highly beholden to other corporations including
agribusiness.

Which is exactly where farming comes in. Try to find a farm show on the radio
that isn't paid by a giant chemical, farm machinery, or seed corporation, or
by transnational middlemen like Cargill. Try to find a talk show that
promotes local market farming.

The major media is no friend of local production, local consumption. Their
advertisers can't make money on market farmers.
