At the risk of sounding like a quid pro quo for Adam's generous reference to my work, I nonetheless urge you to read his testimony if you have not yet. While others on the panel were wringing their hands over the decline of journalism (was the Atchison (KS) Globe-- or any other small town paper -- really a bastion of investigative journalism 30 or 50 years ago?) or the decline of democracy connected to media owner hegemony (what?), Adam was slicing through it by debunking media ownership myths with, guess what, solid data.



If only we could get the Senators to really pay attention.
