http://www.savepacifica.net/index.htm   KPFA a Pacifica station in Berkeley is Northern California's radio resource for non-corporate news and culture. (J.L. Currently there is a crisis in the area of us (We the People) having enough access to independent new reporting. Folks this is an emergency. Please look into what is going on here and at a few remaining stations that are left. Find out how The corporations have taken over most and are likely to continue endeavcoring in that area. We need to Be Reclaiming OUR stations back from these. Not losing them. Recognize the direction that needs your support.) The Other 3 stations challenged in the same way as KPFA, that I know of are: KPFT in Houston TX (Bush's home turf), WBAI in  New York  www.wbai.net (The financial center, a Bush critical area) and WPFW in Washington D.C. www.freewpfw.org (More Bush turf that we need to take back.) On one of the websites addressing these issues I found this quote about the opportunity here. "...in creating a new radio institution which not only fills the airwaves with truly uplifting, inspiring, informative, and galvanizing information, analysis, and vision, but which also provides a model for internal organization and decision making that workers and consumers of other alternative media and of other movement organizing projects of all kinds can point to and say, see, it can be done—real democracy, real self-management is coming to Pacifica, and let's bring it on, for us too."

http://www.corporateasylum.com/passionformediocrity.html  Corporate Brainwashing - Hugh Willmott: "In effect, corporate culture programmes are designed to deny or frustrate the development of conditions in which critical reflection is fostered." ". . . from the standpoint of the individual, the distancing of self from corporate values may be the preferred means of preserving and asserting self-identity."  Don't wonder too long why we have corporate executives and administrators who seemingly have no conscience and so we have Enron's, WorldCom's and trust fund scandals etc. Iff you can handle a longer more intense piece on the subject and the medias part in it go to this URL: http://www.rense.com/general15/tr.htm Americans Are Target Of Largest Media Brainwashing Campaign In History

   Media Regulation
http://www.fair.org/activism/fcc-call-action.html  Action Alert: The FCC is headed towards Rolling Back Limits on Media Consolidation. That is something we don't have to let happen. We don't have to follow this present direction to its 100% breakdown point. We can recognize the lesson from where we are and move into the probable, now actualized reality that reflects our refreshed view/knowing of ourselves. Its present direction is solely due to our refusal to take the controls of our own train of consciousness. Our avoiding ownership of our creating our world. This is why I say from time to time. Wake up! There are stands that we have not owned consciously but are now pressing ourselves (as egos) to address.
Please take a few moments to remind the FCC that ownership rules are necessary to promote diversity and competition in our media, and ultimately, to support our economy and country. This next url is where you can do that. http://www.democraticmedia.org/getinvolved/ownershipAction_FCCFiling.html Our country depends upon a diverse and robust media that ensures the free flow of information from a wide array sources and viewpoints. But recent years have been characterized by rapid consolidation in the media industry, a trend that has left us with FEWER corporations controlling a larger percentage of the information upon which we base important political and personal decisons. The current FCC proceeding seems skewed towards the further scaling back regulations that are intended to promote media diversity and protect civic, minority and noncommercial voices. The FCC needs to hear from you on this important issue.
