    the crazy part is that Murdoch and Co.'s grip on america is so strong that he has half the country dancing to his tune, through a combination of stupidity and greed (fox/WSJ/majority of “independent” radio stations etc.)

      Well, that parts not crazy, it’s just really depressing.

      Propaganda works, and we really should have written a few more laws to protect independent media before everything calcified into place

        we did have some media-ownership limits couple decades back…

        Bush and Clinton got rid of those

        hence why people say both parties are the same…neolibs and republicans have always had the same end-goal

          Oh… Wow, I really don’t hate Clinton enough, he really just cut all the straps holding the country together, huh?
