I'm sure this forum will continue to grow and there will be a lot more Asians and also Africans joining.

Yeah it's quite annoying to see how those big corporations gave such impact to the media. In my country two of our biggest news media are owned by conglomerates who also the chairman of political parties who will run on the next presidential election, now that's a mess. Luckily we also still have traditional magazines & papers from independent publisher, maybe the options are not as many as you get in the US but it's good enough for now.
