limit their right to free speech (ie: lame$tream media) - which desperately needs to be done.
I'm for First Amendment - but with limitations for media - they do far too much damage - advocating hatred/violence and destroying people's lives and our country's ability to even have a reasonable national discourse in regards to issues like health care, or pre-Iraq invasion facts. With their advocacy of hatred and violence and spin, lies, and manipulation causing deaths to people such as Census workers, Dr. Tillman - et al - they've GONE TOO FAR. The media had a major hand in the killing of both of those people - and death threats to the Pres have increased ~400% from what I recently read. The SS is having trouble keeping up. The Rush Limbaughs, Glenn Becks, F*x Nuisance, et al are responsible - at least in part - for this. It's going TOO FAR. Corporations own the media. Corporations should NOT be considered persons NOR should they have the same rights as an individual person.
They need to LOSE their corprat personhood, they need to be BROKEN UP - 7 major mega-corps should NOT own all the media in this country - and the Fairness Doctrine or something similar needs to be (re)instated.
UNFORTUNATELY the same corprats that pwn the media - also pwn our "representatives" in government - AND the usurping court.
SO - I'm not holding my breath.
Any semblance of a Democracy or even a Democratic Republic in the United States was flushed down the toilet years ago. It no longer exists. I guess then, the Usurping court getting ready to stomp out what pissy little resemblance of it that remains ought not to upset me. But - it does.
