SHANGHAI, China (AP) _ The chairman of Viacom Inc., which is poised to take
over CBS, said today that international news organizations should report
the truth but avoid being "unnecessarily offensive" to foreign governments.
As they expand their global reach, media companies must be aware "of the
politics and attitudes of the governments where we operate," said Sumner M.
Redstone.
"Journalistic integrity must prevail in the final analysis. But that
doesn't mean that journalistic integrity should be exercised in a way that
is unnecessarily offensive to the countries in which you operate," Redstone
said at a news conference.

This is the kind of sentiment that usually had to be inferred, stated in
private, or publicly denied. Modern corporations are now so fearless that
such pronouncements can be made publicly and with impunity. The triumph of
capital marches upon your rights.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
