Bryant Park (though owned by the City) is privately run by some wealthy people. It has a budget of $25,000,000 a year and pays its CEO a million dollars a year between the corp and its related organizations.

I think that article is missing the point. The complaints about the merger of news and entertainment are based on the idea that this leads to a misinformed public. And John doesnât do that.
The culprits of the âNews entertainmentâ phenomenon have always been the right wing propaganda machine.

A la Fux News?
I ask because I think of them and their ilk as far right, and CNN, MSNBC, Comedy Central, etc. as right. Theyâre all corporate-owned, so the bottom line is their primary interest. Look for example at how much they still boost Tromp for clicks, by making headline news out of his every comment, move, belch or smirk. Look at how cowardly theyâre being about bothsidering the Israeli mass slaughter of Palestinians. Just for starters. Talk about âright wing propaganda machinesâ!

Fox and its imitators on the far right have been the worst offenders, but youâre right about the propaganda function of corporate news in general.
So itâs ironic that you get part of the corporate media pointing fingers at another part of the same system.

⌠the author makes two claims about Stewart â that Stewart himself is responsible for the news media doing a bad job (which is absurd) and that Stewartâs critique of those media is too bothsidesy (which is true)
Itâs sort of a mess
