...everybody wants a piece of Parker and Stone. All the networks are interested in whatever they do for their next TV show, as are various production companies ranging from DreamWorks to Warner Bros. to Fox to Paramount.

In addition, a continually refreshed diversity of sources helps counterbalance the trend (of which TIME and its parent, Time Warner, are a part) toward media conglomeration. We wouldn't be in this business if we didn't believe that more information and more opinions will eventually lead to more truth. That is why we were among the first journalists to go online and on the Web, and why we have...
