O'Reilly's Producer Gets Slammed!

In what was the clear highlight of the recent National Conference for Media Reform in Minnesota, Bill O'Reilly's (of Fox News shame) Producer get journalistically slammed by Bill Moyers (from the Bill Moyers Journal on PBS) for his Pro-War sympathies.
Luckily some guerilla reporters were close by and able to record it and therefore expose the sly tactics adopted by Fox News as they attempted to "EXPOSE" a media reform conference for being partisan!

Media Concentration and the hopeless state of ACMA

In Taming the Watchdogs of Media Concentration, Sean Condon discusses the further concentration of the Media in Australia, Canada and the U.S. over recent years. Condon shows how these attacks on the media have shown the hopeless state of the media regulation authorities (ACMA- Australian Communication and Media Authority- in Australia). A state of affairs which limits the ability of the public to recieve diversity of opinion.
