5. I agree with you
Randi Rhodes has been saying this forever. Another factor she brought up yesterday that I hadn't thought about is the advertisers. She asked us to take note of the advertisers on the "news" and talk shows. Corporations like Boeing, GE Defense, Halliburton, etc.

Are you going to buy a 747 or a tow missile? Of course not. So, why are they advertising? So they have some control over the content by hanging the threat of pulling their ads off those shows.

But, you are right, deregulation is the BIG carrot, worth countless billions.
