We could get rid of corporate broadcasting, traditional utility companies, health insurance corporations, traditional banks... a whole lot of crap.

An interesting one, too, as it starts with broadcasting.

Most people here think we can solve our media problem by writing sternly-worded letters to media corps until they see the light; Tragic stupidity. How do you talk super-concentrated wealth out of its self-regarding mania? The result has been CBS news taken over by a Fox VP, and PBS getting David Koch on the board of its biggest producer station.

Another sector that comes to mind are defense contractors; that one could represent a real conundrum.
