For one thing, too much of it is controlled by Rupert Murdoch. <br /><br />Such media gigantism is the antithesis of a free press. The solution is the same as for the banks. The media should be broken up: One owner one outlet (orofice, would perhaps be a better term, in the case of pornographers such as Dirty Des (Richard Desmond of the Express, Asian Babes, the UK edition of Penthouse, etc. etc) and Poop Murdoch (Proprietor of the The Sunday Times, The God Channel, Xplicit XXX and Adult Nightly, etc., etc.)CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399620869685840906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-13503974306330869822011-08-28T16:29:27.251-07:002011-08-28T16:29:27.251-07:00Roderick, I don't disagree with anything you s...Roderick, I don't disagree with anything you say.<br /><br />But I don't think Craig Murray's solution to the problem with irresponsible if not deeply corrupt bankers is the right one. If the banks are too big to fail, they should be broken up.<br /><br />There should never again be an occasion where the public are compelled to bail out some of the the richest and most irresponsible elements in society. <br /><br />But fixing the incomes of successful people at absurdly low (by international standards) rates solves no problem, it would simply destroy the market economy.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399620869685840906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867260065662559631.post-37769420667804561192011-08-22T08:14:27.835-07:002011-08-22T08:14:27.835-07:00Alfred, Craig Murray is not the only person concer...Alfred, Craig Murray is not the only person concerned about the performance of the City’s financial services sector – they have shown a remarkable capability for passing risk onto the taxpayer while keeping profits for themselves. As Wall Street Guru, Mr. John C. Bogle, put it in his recent book “Enough” – “The clients of banking firms have lost hundreds of billions of dollars in the risky debt obligations that the banks created … yet most investment banking executives continue to be paid at astonishingly high levels”. And he goes on to question the costs of raising money saying this – “The financial industry is not only the largest sector of our economy; it is also the only industry in which customers don’t come anywhere near getting what they pay for”. Fortune Magazine named Mr. Bogle as one of the 4 investment giants of the 20th century – so he knows what he is talking about.<br /><br />Regarding your comments on the Main Stream Media - of course the MSM is sometimes manipulated on certain stories, so that it can be difficult to separate propaganda from the truth. Britain’s MI6 intelligence agency has a specialized unit “I/OPS” just for this purpose. Indeed Mr. David Leigh of the Guardian wrote, “Journalists are being manipulated by the secret intelligence agencies”. The well-known London-publicist Max Clifford was quoted in another Guardian article as saying – “I censor things as well … for every story I break I stop a dozen”. <br /><br />It is not unreasonable to conclude that something has gone wrong professionally with large chunks of the financial services sector and of the MSM.Roderick Russellhttp://zerzetsen.wikispaces.comnoreply@blogger.com
