Reply #3: Wealthy control the media [View All]

[frogbison]

My daughter was watching the American Kennel Club's dog competition today and it was actually interrupted for a *NEWS FLASH!* telling about pResident Bush's stop in Iraq to greet the troops. Used to be, this was done for newsworthy events, such as the assassination of a political leader, or an event of real magnitude, such as the explosion of the shuttle Challenger. Now, it seems, those in control can put whatever message they want out wherever and whenever they choose.

Makes it even more important to prevent the FCC from allowing more control by a chosen few.

I believe that the only hope we have for the voice of truth are small, independent news outlets and the internet.
