Something sinister in the 7-second delay

[Atman]

Suddenly, in a torrent of nipples and naughty words, the media is in concert with the son of the Secretary of State, one of the primary salesmen of the illegal war. Broadcasters of both video and audio content have been dealt arbitrary punitive blows and suddenly the last free media outlets in America are all on a seven, ten, even 15-second delay. Soon there will be no LIVE coverage of normal media events, so that the government can determine if the content will harm us, or maybe not offend us. I'm not sure; it is an uncertainty which admittedly must come with being too dumb to figure out by myself what might offend me.

Thank GOD (soon to be required by law) that they're looking out for us! We won't know exactly what is real anymore, at least not live. We'll see maybe an awkward camera shift, the result of cutting and catching up, but otherwise we might never know whether or not Master Frodo shouts "BUSH SUCKS!" during his acceptance speach. But we'll be able to pay to read about it. Or pay to watch it. We'll PAY, one way or another, just for access to information.

Of course, there will always be ways for the common man to catch up on the Official News, at no cost...he could stand with a hundred other men and read the one copy pinned to the big bulletin boards. Where have I seen that vision before? Hmmm....

1. There won't be a single liberal pushing the delay button

You know the button pushers will ALL be right-wingers. There won't be a single liberal censor in the country. Doesn't bode well for our Republic.
