How would that not be control of the print media? And, if I remember correctly, wasn't the "climate gate scandal" exposed by a blogger? http://www.spectator.co.uk/print/politics/all/5749853/the-global-warming-guerrillas.thtml And what did corporate media do? Turk 1-8---never mind, they bowed to political interests and scientific rhetoric that has been exposed for the lie that it was. I would dare to suggest that some, or atleast a few, of those journalists working for these firms gave into moral standards rather than demoralization of their work. I would gather to say there is more here within this issue than has been addressed by the authors you cite. I completely agree Jason, doesn’t “publicly funded” encompass government subsidies?

Nothing like insulting the reader in order to win them over! And to claim that government funding would not lead to eventual governmental influence and ultimately, control seems too naive.
