Alternative Media Commercialism, Infowars Sales Tactics
A critique of alternative media business models focuses on the frequent interruption of content to sell overpriced survival products. The hosts express disdain for programs that push gold, food seeds, and solar power gear at significant markups to their audience. They contrast this with their own "value-for-value" model, which avoids traditional commercial advertisements.
Nigel Farage, Gordon Brown, and European Parliament Confrontation
Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) delivered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Gordon Brown during a session of the European Parliament. Farage accused Brown of devaluing democracy by denying the British people a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. He also mocked Brown's economic record, specifically the decision to sell 400 metric tons of UK gold reserves at historic price lows.
UK Music Industry, Physical Album Sales Trends
The Financial Times reports that 123 million physical albums were sold in the United Kingdom over the past year, reflecting a slight decline from 2007. The criteria for achieving gold or platinum status has shifted globally, and the traditional practice of awarding mother masters as gold records has largely been replaced by commemorative CD frames.
