54. I believe that that's the one big shining light for us
I think that the reason that the Dems in Congress are so afraid to proceed with impeachment -- even though they must know that it's the right thing to do -- is that they believe, correctly, that the corporate media will be all over them if they go for impeachment. They'll say it's for political reasons, they'll say it's irresponsible, yada yada yada.

Some day they need to realize that they have to take the media on -- that they MUST do so in order to serve their constituents, and that they CAN do so because as you say the media is losing their power over the rest of us. They had a great deal of influence, they abused it, and now they're going to have to pay the price.
