1. News channels need to be held accountable
If you lie and call yourself a news channel, there should be a punishment.

2. That is absolutely true, and long past due.
:(

Giant corporations need to be chopped up.

Everyplace a company owns large numbers of other companies it needs to be chopped up. This massive consolidation of companies has been a nightmare in every industry.

Holding companies that exist solely to own lots of other companies shouldn't exist. The concept is totally absurd. That means the holding company doesn't exist to do anything except to be a parasite off of other companies that do something.

The world would be a much different place if we broke up all these corporate giants.
