Perhaps this was discussed here and I missed it. You all know the story. Warren Buffet is vigorously building a "news" empire. He just bought the Wall Street Journal. The centerpiece of his empire. His capture of a substantial portion of the American news media is getting some attention. Part of the reason why this is getting so much attention is because of his track record. He twists the news for the purpose of improving his financial position. Even when every attempt is made to insulate his news acquisitions from his deliberate and self-serving influence, those attempts fail.

Is Warren Buffet a US Citizen? I think he hails from Australia. Is it appropriate for one American to essentially control the information received by most Americans? Would it also be appropriate if a non-citizen were able to control the American media? Is it best if the media is used to inform people.......or is it best if we use the media to influence people so that a few rich guys get richer and become able to control our public policy making system (our government)?
