Yesterday鈥檚 Puerto Rican Senate session descended into chaos as losing gubernatorial candidate Pedro Rossell贸 continued to assert his right to the presidency of that legislative body. In Puerto Rico, shameless political opportunism at the expense of the public good is business as usual. |

 Pedro Rossell贸, defeated New Progressive Party (NPP) candidate for Puerto Rican Governor in the November 2004 elections, has brought Puerto Rican Senate business nearly to a standstill in his unrelenting quest for the presidency of that legislative body.

...According to...Congressman (Sanders), this media distortion is no accident; as fewer and fewer corporations control more and more media outlets, viewpoints are increasingly channeled and contrived to benefit narrow commercial interests at the expense of the public good.
...Klein defined the obsessive prominence of the Michael Jackson and Terri Schiavo cases in the media as 鈥渟pasms of collective mourning.鈥 |
