I welcome Mr. Browne. I have a couple of questions. On page 5, Mr. Browne briefly refers to ownership issues in the media in general and media outlets, and he has referred to the fact that he did not go into any detail on it, but does he believe that ownership factors had an impact on the coverage or lack of coverage of the issues that were prominent before the housing bubble came to its ultimate collapse?
