Podesta weighs the pros and cons of stabbing one of his big media supporters in the back. He then decides to be neutral. Maybe if the bribes were a little bigger Times Warner might have gotten as much support from Hillary as they have given to her in this campaign.

I guess silence is consent when it comes to major media consolidation.

Re media consolidation:

I have a perverse thought. I’m surprised that Dems have been so short-sighted about stock investments for pensions. They have had visions of financing the government through forced savings and bond purchases, because Government Bonds are “so safe.”

They’ve accused GWB and others of being wrong-headed on partial privatization of SS through investment in corporations. But, they are being short sighted here.

If the government invested in companies through SS, it would eventually have major, or even controlling interests in many corporations, including media corporations. So, pension privatization would ultimately lead to government control of private industry and media. Nominally, the economic interests would be held by individual accounts, but the voting would be done by government SS Fund trustees.

I’m surprised the Leftists haven’t been all over this!

I will add a couple more new Podesta emails to this thread--bad language warning! You have been warned!

Now ATT is seeking to merge with Time-Warner. I guess anti-trust laws and anti- monopoly statutes don’t exists for favored corporations anymore. And the commies say the Republicans are all about big business.

“policy requests.” bow down to your technocrats!

Sad day in hell when congress has all the evidence they ever wanted in a case and will never do anything about it.

And we are supposed to follow any law created by them?
