We're talking the people that pay the journalists. I remember doing a TV pilot, a John Grisham thing... about a lawyer who becomes a kind of crusader for justice in the ghetto. It was going great guns, everybody loved it,(the lady that ran Touchstone at the time even cried at one of the scenes) until they showed it to Mike Eisner, who was at that time the uber-muckamuck at Disney, which owned the newtork that financed the pilot. Eisner, according to one of the show's producers, watched the show and said "I dont want a show on my network about somebody helping the downtrodden".

Just a tie-dyed Commie, that Eisner. He's pretty typical, really. NBC, for example is owned by GE. Not really a sanctuary for the American Communist Party. Not by a long shot.

Just sayin'.
