Internet Media Rising
More growth for Internet media. The Capital Times takes over WisPolitics, AOL grabs Huffington Post, and Newsweek was recently merged with The Daily Beast.
If you don't see the trend, you're not online.

Oh that's not what I call growth -- that's what I call consolidation. I think it's a really really bad sign for all of us, actually
Same old corporate mergers and acquisitions, parent companies and boardroom trickle-down re: content. How in hell is this either good, or what the Internet and "Independent" grassroots media was EVER gonna be about? It's sell-out each an every time here. Human greed and self-aggrandizement is apparently too much for anyone.More is never enough here in America. Not for the "liberal grassroots activists" either. No matter how big their slice of pie is - they gotta have more. Why whitewash that? It makes zero sense. It is not a "progressive" position by ANY stretch to cheer mega-corporate mergers and buy outs. Not that HuffPo was really that original a voice as it was, but holy crap what are you smoking?
The market is letting AOL know how stupid they think the decision to buy THP is as it's stock drops like a rock.
