One of McChesney’s principal claims in this chapter is that big corporations are able to dominate new media by getting control over two “killer apps”: the web-browser and the Internet portal. Think about your own habits online. Do you depend overwhelmingly on a web-browser that is produced by a large media corporation (e.g. Microsoft Explorer)? Do you frequently visit a portal, relying on it to sort information for you (e.g. cnn.com or webmd.com)? Does your reliance on these outlets allow large corporations to limit your access to the Internet’s democratic potential?
