Our corporate media

Here's a disturbing nugget from Raw Story:

Chairman and chief executive of media juggernaut Time Warner Richard Parsons, who barred a conversation with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia from being on the record, cut a massive $25,000 check to the Republican National Committee in 2004, and according to Newsmeat.com has given $119,750 to Republican candidates and just $12,000 to Democrats.

Parsons tried to impose a "gag order" on a public interview of Scalia conducted by Norman Pearlstein, Time's editor in chief, Nov. 21. Time Magazine is the publication's flagship national newsweekly.

The good news is that some outlets didn't play along. Isn't it nice to know that CEOs use their power to keep the public in the dark on our government?

According to Fortune Magazine, Parsons once dreamed of being appointed to the Supreme Court.

Instead, he's just using his money and influence to run interference for them....
