No Bottom



Another topic that I occasionally address is journalism and its role in U.S. society as the Fourth Estate, see.e.g. J'Accuse and Put Down the Steno Pad.

This video clip from Real Time has a very interesting discussion of the role of the media. "Greed Knows No Bottom," says activist/musician Tom Morello on Real Time with Bill Maher, regarding corporate ownership of the media. Morello and Maher are part of a discussion with Richard Dreyfuss (and correspondent Dana Priest) on journalism and the fourth estate.
