You Will Be Assimilated

More "convergence" - the polite word for monopoly formation - happening in the Canadian media industry. It looks like Bell GlobeMedia is buying CHUM. Bell already owns CTV and The Globe and Mail along with Bell ExpressVue and all the cellphone stuff. Now it will own a bunch of TV and radio stations, if the CRTC approves. Not sure what the nazi Canadian regulators will say about it, though. Not that this is anything new. In the US, GE owns NBC and Disney owns ABC. Freedom of the press? Yeah, right.

Exceptionally tired today. Can't seem to get to bed until 10:00 these days. Bad news when you get up at 3:00am. Only two more days to go until the weekend. After two weekends in a row of go-go-go, it will be nice to be at home. It looks like MIL is all teed up to watch the girl for Saturday night so the man and I can get out and see a movie. Johnny Depp, here I come!
