Still and all, why the campaign against BRENTCORP, or any concerted campaign supportive of SHOW-BIZ, is doomed to hit a brick wall:
TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE TOP 100 MEDIA COMPANIES IN 2003:
$208,895,000,000
TOTAL REVENUES FOR THE TOP 100 MEDIA COMPANIES' PARENTS IN 2003:
$505,007,000,000
AVERAGE ANNUAL REVENUE GROWTH FOR THE TOP 100 MEDIA COMPANIES IN 2003:
7.716%
(Caveat: the second number is misleading as it includes huge companies whose principal business isn't media, i.e., AmEx, Bill's Buggy Empire and GE Bancorp. Further some companies in the first tally are inexplicably absent from the second. But one should keep these numbers in mind when show-biz [and BIG-BIZ] proxies like
STERNO!!!!! try to paint this as a fight against little guys.)
(Further caveat: the first number does not include several members of
THE CONSPIRACY, including Sony, or any "music" companies.)
