The MaxiMog was designed and built by one Bran Ferren, formerly of Disney's Imagineering. However nowhere in the praise heaped on Ferren and his kooky car could you find the fact that Discover is also owned by the Disney corporation. The Economist, on the other hand, scrupulously notes every time its parent company, Pearson, or its sister publications are mentioned.</p> Sam T http://www.gothamist.com/2003/06/03/media_ownerships_new_dawn.php#comment-3000 http://www.gothamist.com/2003/06/03/media_ownerships_new_dawn.php#comment-3000 Comments Tue, 03 Jun 2003 16:00:11 -0500 <p>What is the FCC's excuse for this behavior?</p>
