What Happens When Most Of The Media Is Owned By The Same Person
This blog’s endorsements of the North Dakota ballot measures is listed over at Ballotpedia (a great Sam Adams Alliance project with information on state elections and measures all over the country). Looking at the other endorsements there from other state media it’s funny to see them all on exactly the same page:
Want to know why nearly ever paper in North Dakota is on the same page on these measures? Because they’re all owned by Forum Communications. Forum Communications is owned by William Marcil. And William Marcil, along with his son newphew (corrected per the comments) Michael Marcil who has been active in the state in campaigning against measures 1 and 2, oppose these measures.
Must be nice to own your own media juggernaut with which promote your own political views.
