Entitlement. You have to remember that old media is a monopoly biz. That explains alot about the culture. The people believe they are entitled to be at a certain level of power/money/presitge in society. Its not surprising they are masters of political interventions to support their positions. They don't do product as much as they do monopoly business model, legislated advantage(s) and regulatory capture. From that position, it's just extraction by contract terms.
- marquis 13y ago>The people believe they are entitled to be at a certain level of power That's a very good point to make: old school media (broadcast media/print) set the cultural standards for a society. That's changing: the Internet is allowing everyone to learn together what they think, or want to think. We know that anyone losing power will do anything to try and keep it, as they fall deeper into the well of redundancy. You just helped me realise that broadcast is going away, but we'll maintain our celebrity/expert hierarchies based on new media explorations (e.g. XKCD, notch, Colonel Hadfield)
