hail folks---i am in the middle of doing other stuff, so will be very short...
a) the effect of the entire situation within which information ciruclates in the states is the reduce information to a commodity. this is a problem, but one that cuts across the question of ownership.
b) consolidation is a separate matter that i'll try to get back to
host: i agree with your assessments--if you got the idea i didnt, then the fault lay with my writing--what i meant by narrow was that the effects of such organizations as the cnp runs well beyond the matter of who they are---so i should maybe have put my remark about narrowness more in terms of complimentarities of approach---that's more accurate a term. i think the post you refer to was meant mostly as a response to your sense of frustration with the devolution of some aspects of the politics forum, particularly around the imus thing---as a proactive bt of encouragement between comrades in a similar struggle than a critique of your reseach focus in itself. to be clear, i find what you have been doing to be very valuable, a good fleshing out of an important referencepoint, even as the kind of arguments that i might make tend to work on different grounds--in the end, complimentarity.
ok, no time, gotta go.
