       What do you think of citing some of the material on Wikiversity 
under "Finance industry in the United States" in this regard 
(http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Finance_industry_in_the_United_States)? 
I want to add material on the advertising budgets of the finance 
industry compared to the profits of the mainstream commercial media -- 
to help explain why we hear so relatively little about this -- plus more 
on the half a billion dollars per year the finance industry invests in 
lobbying and political campaign contributions, etc.  I'm open to 
suggestions on what could make these kinds of analyses more compelling.
