No country has truly free speech, as you yourself conceded in a post a few moments ago. The US is no better at this than other countries, despite your odd cupboardy perspective. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org

No more that a syndicate in the US, I'd say. More important points of gov't interference with the press are, IMO: 1/ the fact that the biggest, right-wing, quality daily belongs to Dassault, whose CEO is both a (harsh) right-winger MP and a toy merchant, 2/ Same (partially) for le Monde, apart from the fact that Lagardre is not a MP, 3/ The Comission Paritaire (a system of tax break for the press), 4/ the problems with press distribution. The CCIJP is a trifle in comparison, and by the way, it's not necessary to hold a press card to write in any newspaper ! -- remplacez "lesptt" par "laposte" pour me joindre substitute "laposte" for "lesptt" to reach me |
