Oh well, I should know better than to josh. I won't do that again. But you must agree that today's big media corporations have distinctly totalitarian tendencies, and Sumner and Mel are undisputed megalomaniacs. Given that Viacom runs MTV and employs
Opie and Anthony I detect a good bit of my-way-or-the-highway coming from their domain -- a bit more than is healthy in an alleged democracy.
And while I will try not to engage in any further ad hominem accusations of Nazi worship, I point out that a) Viacom did $23 billion in business in 2001, b) that A. J. Liebling said, "Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one", c) that
a Viacom radio employee was recently fired for criticizing his bosses on the Web, and d) I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Opie and Anthony to play a practical joke on Sumner and Mel.
