That is an interesting story, thank you. It reads like a television drama and could probably be turned into an engaging suspense movie. I sometimes wonder whether there should be more forced independence for media companies, but then I remember things like News Corp, which isn't exactly a shining star of journalistic integrity, and GE owning NBC (prior to the sale to Comcast), which afaik didn't ever run into any conflict of interest problems between the parent company and what hit the airwaves.
