We know his predictions are coming true. Yet a large part of the Media is telling us everything's fine and we should push on with the same as before. So the top tier can continue get richer and the rest fall behind. They can do this because, with the growth of new media outlets, the number of people controlling them hasn't grown at the same pace.
The Globe is a big place and people like Google, MSN, Viacom, CBS Corporation, Time Warner, 21st Century Fox and News Corp (the former News Corporation, split in 2013), Bertelsmann, Sony, Comcast, Vivendi, Televisa, The Walt Disney Company, Hearst Corporation, etc. Are in control of what we consume if we rely on them alone.
Are we always going to be allowed to hear what a Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King, Dylan has to say?
We know the downfall of the war in Vietnam was caused by the access the media had to the war zone. And the freedom those reporters had to tell us what happened. Is that comparable to the invasion of Iraq, Libya and more
future events?
Tim Berners-Lee told us it would happen.
