Evidence that Heritage Foundation is a corporate whore....
Even while most conservatives were opposing Bush's idiotic idea to reduce media ownership regulations, the "strongest" and "most influential" conservative think tank in DC is saying that deregulation is "good" and by allowing more companies to own more things it will somehow promote media "diversity".

That's bascially like saying "war is peace" "freedom is slavery" "ignorance is strength". Ugh!

1. Corporate whore? It's a far-right-wing think tank.
Doesn't everyone know that?

2. The Foundation is comprised
of rich white guys sitting around a table figuring out ways to make life better for rich white guys. I'm a borderline rich white guy but my heritage has nothing to with those yahoos whose number one priority is to destroy the constitution because it dares give equal rights to all of our citizens. That is something that conservatives have no desire for. Just listen to them.

3. Where I come from
no one speaks of how much money someone has or doesn't have because it is not relevant anyway. Acquiring money and flaunting it when you have are considered "trashy." I can hardly think of anyone trashier than boy George because he is a parasite on top of acquiring and flaunting.

4. Think tank?
The Heritage Foundation calls itself a think tank, but it's not. No research is actually done. What they do is take far-right ideas and pro big business agendas and market them in such a way as to sound palatable to normal Americans.

Call them a tax-exempt p.r. firm and marketing agency.
