Reply #25: Where do you get your news?

That's a question any friend visiting from overseas always asks. I agree that our MSM is perhaps the biggest threat to real freedom, and perhaps overwhelmingly powerful in controlling thought for most Americans. Repeal of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, along with other pointed legislation to overcome info control of the the "News" owners, is both going to be extremely difficult to accomplish (if we ever get a chance) and also supremely necessary if this country is ever going to move back toward real freedom ever again.

And then there remains the consistent problem that, no matter what party is elected, the media can wield it's power against them. Would it not take a aignificant percentage of elected representatives who are simply independent? Whose integrity is unreachabale by such entrenched power?
