Ya know how every new president signs a bill right after his swearing in? Here's my hope for Obama's

[Stinky The Clown]

"I do hereby break the media up into tiny little independent chunks no bigger than one teevee station or one radio station or one newspaper."

It won't happen.

But it is my biggest wish.

1. I was hoping for an executive order rescinding all of *'s executive orders

And nullifying all previous executive findings of the past 8 years.

That probably won't happen either.

We can wish.

2. until we do something about the press we're fucked

The founding fathers knew that a free open and honest press was the only real check on the government. imo

3. You're exactly right. The real truth will, indeed, set us free.

Corporate nooz keeps us on snooz.

Imagine if the 2000 election returns were reported fairly. Imagine of the recount were reported fairly. Imagine if the run up to Iraq were reported fairly.

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

4. The thing is I remember right after the fall of nixonian

The powers to be realized that the only way they were to be successful in getting their message out was to buy up all the media outlets of which they proceeded to do up to where we are today. I seen it coming as many others did but have been powerless to do anything about it other than getting in the streets of which I am reluctant to do as I don't want the hassles that more than likely would come with my doing so. First things first, a free and open press is a must. Without it we have no chance of getting anywhere other than like what we have today.
