Media Privatization

"Canadian Press Wire service to go Private" Calgary Herald July 05/10

What a funny little article tucked away in our local newspaper. As if most people didn't already know the media is largely controlled by certain groups of people, to sometimes help them fulfill their agendas. But at least it was non-profit.... Now, for the first time in nearly a century they are going to be operating as a for-profit entity, called Canadian Press Enterprises. Apparently the restructuring was caused primarily by "financial difficulties" including major pension plan problems... Duh... hehe

And nobody is worried that it's all privatized now. Not a peep.
