Even Rush last week was pretty darn cool toward the bloggers who, rightly, outed Eason Jordan
I thought the whole thing was just wierd.
Right! the whole thing is wierd are right on the heels of the MSM discrediting bloggers last week and these communication mergers between SBC - AT&T and Verizon - MCI.
OK, what does that all mean. Well, it means CONTROL!
I predicted MCI & AT&T would get bought out 6 months ago. I've been in the communications business for 20 years now and something was up.
Verizon is now and is finished with high speed fiber to the curb or the last mile in many area around east-coast cities.
Ivan Seidenberg the Ceo of Verizon in also in the board at Viacom. Look for movies and content from Viacom over fiber optic broadcast.
OK, now the the big CONTROL thing. Most of the fiber optic cable is control now by 4 big companies. Verizon, SBC, Bell South and Quest. Their are smaller players like Level 3 (LVLT) and Equant (ENT) and others but they also may go BK or get bought out.
Last week I felt the market control squeeze from these players and if your in the stock market long term VZ and SBC are a great buy after their merger lows.
The new media will be snuffed out slowly because of higher prices and/or maybe new Internet laws but something is up and Hannity was acting squirrelly like he was reading from some "In the Club" talking points memo.
Bottom line is change is coming. Their is a silent media war on and you never know Free Republic may need a new FCC broadcast license in the future.
P.S. Other content players are Disney and Time Warner. This maybe the beginning of the "The Empire Strikes Back" Media Lockdown of the Internet.
AT&T is The Death Star
