One Justin Bieber wouldn't be a problem. The problem comes when dozens of justins take up all the airwaves, and people with real talent or with something to say can't get a chance.

Example: I belong to a group which support ragtime, which is indigenous to our region. A couple years ago, we brought to town a pianist who had been called one of the greatest pianists in the world by the New York Times. You'd think that such a person would be worth noticing. But no, we couldn't get a word of publicity.

Our media don't want to know about anything but the music which young reporters think is 'cool.' Justin Bieber is cool. Our guy was not.
