what are they giving up? how about self determination, the ability to have a say to insure that there is some local programming to reflect the community at large rather than the controlled content the big media corporations want to deliver. the boring national reports that most people I know never watch. even local news here is pathetic. right now the Republican Congress has been outed for covering for a pedophile Congressman from Florida, a sexual predator going after young boys and it is not being fully reported. they sure got themselves in a huff over Clintons antics but it's ok for a Republican Congressman to harass underage boys? the local news is talking today about Autumn foliage. pathetic. Liberal media? Right wing controlled media is the reality now. and all the cable co's are helping to provide cover for this administration. now that I'm on a roll here check out Woodwards new book. The President of the United States and Karl Rove telling fart jokes. pulling fart jokes in Cabinet meetings. The President of the United States enjoying fart jokes at cabinet meetings? go ahead and defend that. it is just incomprehensible that the President is a dumb frat boy and enjoys fart jokes in cabinet meetings. . God help us.
