The last thing our "corporate" news media will do is give the details I heard on Radio Free Europe (I mean the BBC) this morning on XM. But,of course some of this will largely depend upon whether other more important news dominates the news cycle such as "Did Brittney Spears shave her head again"?, or "Did John Edwards get his $400 haircut before or after he cheated on his wife"?, or "Did Miss California really have a boob job"?.

To further emphasize my point, another EU suit that got little attention in the US media was:

The EU and it's media serve the public interest. The US and it's media serve corporate interest. That is why we have mindless news cycles filled with trivia, innuendo, rumors, and other topics designed to dumb down the population. That's why we have to resort to the disappearing newspapers or foreign country's news reporting for things that affect us here in the US. In the EU they believe that competition benefits the consumer. In the US they believe that monopoly benefits the consumer.
