so you think control freak like that would have left out of to anyone else ever right so the bloomberg cronies of the hell it should come as no surprise of the health department's been airing ads like this for a while now. b.c. causes type two diabetes and it's serious complications like heart disease blindness and even the patients if your kids drink one bottle of soda a day they're eating fifty pounds of sugar year fifty pounds of sugar from just one soda a day drink yourself sick. scary eyeopening public service announcement about sodas and sugar almost as good as the ads that counter that like this one. feeding a family is difficult enough in today's economy now some politicians want the government telling me how i should do it they want to put new taxes i want to grocery side by like soft drinks too strong sports drinks even flavored waters. now the truth is the ads bother me a lot less than the all out ban but king michael's own priorities and has used his iron fist to crush unhealthy habits think about all the other items that he sees as contra bad contraband he's put a ban on s

bloomberg led to the first restaurant ban on trans fat in 2008. it's sugar. >> as long as you're doing it to yourself, it's up to you. but we have a $4 billion cost in dealing with obesity, and the public is picking up that tab. >> not all sweet or high calorie drinks will be down sized. off the chart, water, of course. diet sodas. coffee drinks, dairy based beverages, 70% fruit and vegetable juices and alcoholic beverages. koosz the country, reaction is split. >> it's probably better for health reasons. >> i'm mixed on it because there is an obesity crisisen the country and some people drink way too much. >> they're definitely overstepping their boundaries. >> i think shea should because health it, is an issue. >> they called it zealous, saying soda is not driving the obesity rates. one civil libertarian called it a monstrous government overreach. >> it's telling us it's okay to eat this in this portion but not this in this portion. that's not what we elect politicians to do. >> there was a bit of an uproar a few years back when mayor michael blo

bloomberg led to the first restaurant ban on trans fat in 2008. the target is sugar. >> if you want to actire responsibly, as long as you're doing it to yourself, that's up to you. but in new york city, we estimate a $4 billion cost in dealing with obesity, and the public is picking up that tab. >> not all sweet or high calorie drinks will be downsized. off the chart, water, of course. diet sodas, coffee drinks, dairy based beverages like milk or milkshakes, 70% fruit and vegetable juices and alcoholic aboveerages. across the country, reaction is split. >> it's probably better for health reasons. >> i'm mixed on it because there is an obesity crisis in the country and some people drink way too much. >> they're definitely overstepping their boundaries. >> i think they should just because health is, it is an issue. >> the american beverage association labeled the proposal zealous, saying soda is not driechbing the obesity rates. one civil libertarian called it a monstrous government overreach. >> a politician, whatever their intention, is tells us i

super bloomberg has banned smoking in bars and parks. forced restaurants to stop using transfats as his bare hands and he is really fighting for america's health, saying you can't buy a big gulp. it's a shot heard from coast to coast, the mayor planning to ban the sale of all sugary drinks sold in containers larger than 16 ounces. including energy drinks and presweetened iced teas. former president bill clinton weighed in. >> i know a lot of people think this is an anti-state and he is interfering, but these are very serious problems. and there are a lot of things in our diet that not only make us too heavy, but put too much sugar in our body which have an enormous number of people with diabetes and a lot of people teetering on the edge of it. >> all right. he said nanny state. some people say it's a slap in the face of american freedom. but maybe it's just a punch in the face of big food. the food and beverage industry seems to be buying other politicians' silence. remember the sugar tax proposal? that was kryptonite action even for sup

and in particular, thompson reuters and bloomberg. we now -- we talked about fewer phone correspondents. 3,000 journalists work for reuters. 2,600 or 2,800 work for bloomberg. that's a lot of journalists. and that is driven by economic forces which are quite different from the forces driving what's happened in advertising-based media. it's all about sort of building a news halo on top of the big, monster, capitalist professional platform. there are some issues there, right? and actually, i wrote a pose for "cjr" a couple of years ago. is news going to be private? and are you going to -- if you're a member of the plu plutocrat, are you going to have privileged access to news and information? which is essentially part of the reuters or bloomberg offering -- compared to everybody else? but you can't neglect to notice that that stuff is there. and then in the eamericaning mark markets huge news organizations are being built. al jazeera, the chinese organizations. these have issues but more stuff in the space. having said all that and retu
