I recently heard that the Detroit Free Press (or the Detroit Free Mess as I like to call it) was bought by Gannet, the same media giant that has owned The Detroit News (The Detroit Ooze) for at least 20 years. Now allow me to ask a few questions with obvious answers: Doesn't that further show how out-of-control media monoloplies are getting? I mean, why should the same company own two newspapers in the same market? Isn't that what some people would call competing with one's self? Are there any other obvious questions I forgot to ask regarding this situation?
