Well, lets not overlook the very real fact that 99% of big media is in favor if droppin' the FCC ownership regs, includin' what Dougie would consider the liberal media... These media fat cats have been all over Bush and the former FCC chairman, Michel Powell (yeah, son of Colin...) showerin' them with dough tryin' to get these regs dropped... Bush has also bent over backwards in tryin' to get them dropped... This would mean even greater media consolidation which would not only kill off local medai but also bring about a situation where Americans wopuld be hearin just one voice???

One voice ain't exactly what Tom Jefferson had in mind in warning that if democrcay was to survive it would do so based on an "informed electorate"... With one voice, that of Boss Hog's bought-n-paid-for governemnt, there ain't no reason to go wavin' no flags about what a wonderful thing democracy is...

Be nice to have democracy, tho.... Problem is is that is is DOA in the USA...
