95. We need to take back the "Public Airwaves!" 6 corporations own 90% of media!
Mon Oct 1, 2012, 11:07 AM
Oct 2012

I travel up and down the Gulf Coast, and I have watched BP buy off ALL TV, radio and newspapers there so they will not do any victim stories or say anything negative about BP. There has been no reporting that BP has bought off the Repug governors on the coast even though not one of them is demanding BP settle with the victims of their states. Most people think BP already took care of this with a 20 billion dollar fund, what a joke! There was never 20 billion parked anywhere, but no one says anything. They will keep coming for control over the Internet, mark my words. They already monitor all of this here!
