Since all of those major TV news sources are owned by one of the Big Six, the chances are mighty slim that you'll be able to catch a discussion of media antitrust issues on national television.
As Bagdikian points out: "The power and influence of the dominant companies are understated by counting them as 'six.' They are intertwined: they own stock in each other, they cooperate in joint media ventures, and among themselves they divide profits from some of the most widely viewed programs on television, cable and movies.
A strong antitrust movement aimed at the Big Six could change such indifference in a hurry.

 eTaiwanNews.com/UK anti-war protesters should realize that 'Big Six' are discovering peace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Today's big powers - the U.S., the European Union, Russia, Japan, China, and we should add India - appear to have no major quarrel with each other, no major issues (apart from the future of Taiwan which is being handled remarkably amicably) that could bring them to war.
All six exhibit most of the time an urge to keep the likelihood of conflict serious enough that it might lead to saber rattling and then to war right upstairs in the attic along with the folios of old quarrels that have been either made up or become anachronistic.
This big picture harmony, singular in itself, is all the more an achievement given the intensity of today's ongoing conflicts between Palestine and Israel, in Iraq and Afghanistan and possibly between India and Pakistan, not to mention the continuing African wars.

 Six Apart upgrades Movable Type | InfoWorld | News | 2007-06-05 | By Juan Carlos Perez, IDG News Service
Blogging pioneer Six Apart has made an aggressive move to defend and expand its presence in the workplace now that major vendors such as IBM and Microsoft have begun to build blog components into their enterprise collaboration platforms.
On Tuesday, Six Apart released the most significant upgrade in years of its enterprise blogging software Movable Type, boosting what many industry experts already consider to be the most sophisticated product of its kind.
However, Six Apart must keep enhancing the product and making sure it's easy to integrate with enterprise systems, because what Microsoft and IBM lack in sophistication, they make up for in the convenience of providing broad, one-stop collaboration platforms.
