It's not that paranoid. ABC and NBC and all the major CORPORATE news organizations are about the same, and they are all owned by Rupert Murdoch! Even the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has a new NEOCON administration. I think in this sense, the Talking Heads songs were prophetic: they saw the consolidation of our sources of information before it became common knowledge that corporate media serves corporate interests.
@humancorporation - Yep. "In 1987, the FCC abolished the fairness doctrine..." - and that was all she wrote.Thank you for not being a fool. Just because Talking Heads/David Byrne made a comment with tongue-in-cheek doesn't mean he didn't invest belief in that comment. Ian Anderson, Ray Davies, Bob Dylan, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell et al, they ALL used plays on words and satire to make serious points.
