You're full of crap, Lee.  They may be owned by corporations, but those corps
are gigantic holding companies, owning dozens of smaller companies.  They do
that so that they can spread any loses over a wider base, and profits are more
reliable since they aren't depending on one source of income.

Each of those companies has a management staff that runs it, same as if they
were a stand alone company.  The big corps don't meddle in running things as
long as the money keeps on rolling in.  They most certainly DO NOT get involved
in the day to day decision making process except in very rare instances.  

Rupert Murdock owns Fox, and dozens of newspapers and TV stations.  But ask
Bill O'Reilly if Murdock has ever called him up and said he was to run his show
this or that way.  Or Hannity and Combes.  Or Brit Hume, the News Director for
Fox.  If Murdock tried such a thing, they'd quit and go to another network in a
heartbeat.  O'Reilly has even said that the only thing he has do is make sure
his ratings stay up, otherwise he runs his own show.  

As usual, you're spouting off about something you know nothing about, and
making accusations you can't back up.
