40. War and Internet News - An Alternative (EditorandPublisher.com - Bowen)
    "Long ago, print journalism found its place in the new order of things by providing a cooler, more deliberate perspective on the events that our readers may have seen for themselves on TV.

41. Democracy, Media, and Deregulation (ReclaimtheMedia.org - Lawson)
    "The most likely result of dropping our cross-ownership ban would not be the creation of small, geographically-focused media firms sharing resources to create high-quality, regionally accountable content. Rather, such deregulation, combined with loosened broadcast ownership caps, would throw open the door to the expansion of already-huge national networks with the market power to choke out or absorb small competitors, with programming decisions emitted from centralized headquarters. (Imagine a faintly localized version of USA Today being the only newspaper and CNN the only TV or radio broadcast news source available to a community)." 4-03

42. Democracy, Media, and Deregulation (Alternet.org - Schmelzer)
    "Indeed, the issue of centralized news will be exacerbated after the FCC's June 2 vote on ownership. On the chopping block are six regulations that attempt to preserve a diversity of voices and local control of media – from the ban on owning both a TV station and newspaper in the same market to limits on how many radio stations one group can own in a given area."
    
    "Should the FCC vote to weaken these protections – as expected – more of our airwaves will be concentrated in the hands of a few corporations."
    
    Nichols says, " ' We still have a highly regulated media. The only thing that is changing is that it's now being regulated in the interests not of democracy or the people, but larger corporations.' " 4-03

    "As a rock-and-rolling teenager on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, he practically grew up in the nation's living rooms. In the recording studio, having landed a contract based on his TV stardom, he more than made the grade. No mere rock and roll pretender, Nelson was the real thing: a gentle-voiced singer-guitarist with an instinctive feel for the country-rooted side of rockabilly. And he had exquisite taste in musicians, utilizing guitarist James Burton (formerly a Dale Hawkins sideman, later an Elvis Presley accompanist) as his secret weapon in the studio." 9-03

44. 02-06-04 Medicare Ads Opposed (CBS News)
    "Several Congressional Democrats have asked the General Accounting Office to investigate the use of taxpayer money on ads publicizing recent changes to Medicare."
    
    "The Department Health and Human Services, which oversees Medicare, announced the $12.6 million ad campaign this week and unveiled a 30-second television commercial that anchors the effort. The ad proclaims: 'Same Medicare. More benefits.' "
    
    "Charles Rangel of New York — complains that the ad misleads when it says "It's the same Medicare."
    
    Democrats contend Medicare is not the same. The new law includes restrictions on Medigap prescription insurance, introduces means-testing of premiums for supplemental or Part B Medicare and indexes deductibles for Part B to inflation. Neither the TV nor print ad mentions any of those changes." 2-04

45. 03-03-04 Record U.S. Trade Deficit (CBS News)
    "The United States registered a record $489.4 billion trade deficit for 2003 as a rebounding U.S. economy strengthened Americans' appetites for a wide range of foreign-made goods, including cars, clothing and TVs."
    
    "Critics point to the deficits as evidence that the president's free-trade policies aren't working and are a factor in the loss of U.S. jobs."
    
    "The latest snapshot of trade activity comes amid rising tensions over global trade and concerns about the flight, or outsourcing, of U.S. jobs to other countries.

47. -Editorial - Terrorists Require the Partnership of Mass Media (Christian Science Monitor - Felling)
    "Troubling questions abound: Does terrorism exist without the media? Does coverage of terrorist acts empower or encourage the people behind them? If terrorism is directed more at the audience than at its victims, shouldn't television journalists stop giving terrorists the forum they covet?"
    
    "Certainly, television news covers terrorist attacks for the high-minded journalistic objective of informing viewers. But the zeal with which fear has been commoditized - from shark attacks to child kidnappings to the Washington sniper - is a product of TV executives realizing that frightened people put down the remote control and await news updates, ratcheting up ratings points. Unfortunately, this living-room fearmongering plays right into the hands of terrorists who are attempting to rattle every American, turning television news reporters into de facto publicists for terrorists."
    
    "Nearly 20 years ago, the eminent Washington reporter David Broder suggested that 'the essential ingredient of any effective antiterrorist policy must be the denial to the terrorist of access to mass media outlets.' He said this in a different era, before 24-hour news channels were in hot competition for Americans' attention. He's still right."
    
    "Amateur cooks learn quickly that pouring water on a grease fire only makes it worse. Broadcasters must realize that their coverage might be doing the same. Like cutting off the oxygen that sustains a flame, a few internal shifts in reporting policy would traumatize viewers less and could save lives." 9-04

48. -10-21-04 Russia's Putin Endorses Bush (RussiaJournal.com)
    "Now Bush has been given an endorsement – something he probably did not ask for, and hardly needs – from Vladimir Putin. The first result of that endorsement is that the Russian TV and press controlled by the Kremlin will also endorse Bush, in their fashion." 10-04

49. -11-05-04 "Values" Message Wins Ohio for GOP (MSNBC News)
    "While the two campaigns slugged it out on big-city TV stations with commercials about the war and the economy, Bush's Ohio campaign used targeted mailings, phone calls and doorstep visits to talk about values, said John C. Green, a University of Akron professor who studies religion and politics. Green described one piece of mail from the Bush campaign that featured a beautiful church and a traditional nuclear family. It was headlined, 'George W. Bush shares your values. Marriage. Life. Faith.' "
    
    "It could not have been clearer if it had quoted from the Bible," Green said." 11-04

50. -12-19-04 Challenge of Election (Boston Independent Media Center)
    "Across the US electors in at least five states, for the first time in history, turned the heavily scripted and ritualized electoral college proceedings into a forum for political action. Frustrated by the relative inattention to wide spread real voting violations now numbering in the tens of thousands, Electors called for congressional investigation and legislative action."
    
    "Vermont electors, on the record and in front of TV cameras and a number of statewide media outlets, expressed their concerns for our democracy with '57,000 complaints already received by the Congressional Judiciary Committee, we call on Congress and especially our Vermont Congressional delegation to investigate.' They enumerated credible violations affecting hundreds of thousands of voters across the US, Elector Jeffrey Taylor reports."
    
    "Massachusetts Electors who introduced the motion said they will use this to lobby Congressional members to take action now such as objecting to the vote. The motion passed by acclimation called on Congress to: 'Act to commit Congress to investigate all voting complaints that might have any validity that they receive, Act to commit Congress to remedy any voting rights violations or electoral fraud verified by its own agents or through the courts, File in Congress and commit their resources to passage of systemic remedies.' ” 12-04
