This must be who's buying all that Levitra

We were watching the ABC World News Tonight during dinner, something we rarely do. I'd never realized how much male impotence drugs are advertised during the evening news. It seems to me that a lot of families are watching the nightly news...what are they telling the children?

Or are those who own the media just playing to folks just like themselves -- Grumpy Old Pornographers?

The Fairfield County Weekly cites a Washington Post article which noted:

"...corporate leaders at companies as diverse as News Corp., Marriott International and Time Warner can profit by selling red-state consumers the very material that red-state culture is supposed to despise. Those elites then funnel the proceeds to the GOP, which in turn has used the money to successfully convince red-state voters that the other political party is solely responsible for the decline of the civilization."


Some other tidbits from the article: Until General Motors sold its DirectTV subsidiary to Rupert Murdoch, it sold more graphic sex films every year than Larry Flynt. Now it's Murdoch who's a bigger pornographer than Flynt. And AT&T, once the nation's largest communications company, offers a hardcore sex channel [Hot Network] and owns a company that offers sex videos to a million hotel rooms in America.

One inaccuracy in the piece: Rupert Murdoch does NOT own Echostar. Its satellite subsidiary is the aforementioned DirectTV. Echostar is still an independent company. 57% of its political contributions go to Democrats.
