Okay, and back to where we were,

sort of...

Put the story in this link together with the rest of current events, and it's a birds-eye view into exactly why the media would be willing to "sell out":

Viacom earnings drop 37 percent; ad slump hurts | Reuters

ViaCom is in a spot of a situation ~ they owe more than they have, and are selling off their holdings. (Their holdings are the key to the point of this.) There's one list to start with ~ and don't forget to check the subsidiaries affiliations, also.

It's rather astounding to find that our news services are "for sale"...
It's only astounding if you're an idiot who doesn't understand that a news service is a business. Any business can lose money and can go up for sale. How is that any different from any other business?

Also, viacom's major stations are VH1 and MTV. Those aren't news services.
