How is it similar? The Frontline site appears to be about the concentration of mass-media outlets into the hands of a few commercial powers who blur the boundary between information and marketing. The site for the Fox News special doesn't even implicitly allude to that problem. Yet it does find room to wring its hands about such corrupters as "salacious dress" and "the Internet" (though the latter is the only mass medium that enables each kid to _voice_ opinions instead of being given one). --David Epstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
