I didn't get that videographer job at Channel 69. I am disappointed but they had nice things to say. They said I have a place at the station but that the guy they hired had a stronger news background than I did. I am hoping that is true and not your standard "nice" rejection. Sigh. So I guess it's Joe security guard for me.

In other news, dung beetles use moonlight to navigate. Just thought you'ld like to know. Also, the FCC made it easier for news organizations to own larger parts of individual markets; 45% I believe. This is not a good idea. Centralizing news sources is bad because it potentially puts the power of what is newsworthy in the hands of fewer than 10 people across the globe. What if these profit-minded people decide that a particular truth or event works against their profit margin or their idealology. Case in point. WWII...Germany....Nazi propoganda minister Goerring (oe Goebells...I forget which) controls all media sources. After WWII, large sections of the everyday German population never knew about the concentration camps. The news of the times told them the Jews were repatriated outside the country. Now I know technology has allowed information to travel around the world in mere minutes, but what if they just don't tell you. Will it happen? I don't know, but do you really want all that power in so few hands.

Ok, I am off to bed.
