McCain called a “telephone company whore”
Executive Director of Free Press Josh Silver gives an exclusive interview with Talk Radio News Correspondent Elia Herman about the role of free press, social media and new media, which he says is not substantial enough. Silver says that roughly 45 percent of Americans still do not have access to the internet, and that cable and phone companies control 98 percent of internet access. He concludes by stating Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) support for internet neutrality, and speaks out against the consolidation of media ownership. Conversely, Silver says Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is a “telephone company whore”, and that he does what he can to please these companies without question (6:14).
