In this twenty-eighth survey of the web, The WAWG Index monthly average was down by 12.1 percent from January 2008. Of the fourteen categories tracked, 4 were up, 9 were down and one was unchanged. The largest decrease for February, 74 percent, was, again, protection of corporate power. The largest increase was for disdain and suppression of intellectuals at 50 percent.
Through February, the 12 month group moving average for all fourteen categories is down an additional 1.1 percent to -9.5 percent. Of the fourteen categories tracked, only one, media control, is still positive – but not as much as it was last month.
