Steve Inskeep, as a media person, should know that the business he is in, for instance, is completely tied to the US government. It is the US government that dictates what the media can say, EACH AND EVERY DAY. This has been so for at least the last two decades.

I refer you to an excellent documentary called "Weapons of Mass Deception" for a closer look at how the US media is EMBEDDED, (or is it bedded) in the government. Not only does the pentagon dictate what the message of the day is going to be, but after it has informed the US media, it hangs up and calls London to tell them what the message should be there, as well, so that it is completely coordinated. This applies to all the corporations who own media outlets, such as GE and Disney, as well as all the sponsors of media.

Is there anything about that model that Americans can really learn from and copy given that it's just a very different country here?) which sort of implies that in the United States, this isn't the case?!
