Attention: Democratic campaign leaders
Dean mentioned breaking up the media giants for more voices and freedom. Kucinich went after them trying to control the debate issues. They are both being ignored and attacked in the media. Sad but true.

To every campaign Democratic candidate director...We have learned from this have we not? Don't go after the media during the campaign.

TV and radio wouldn't exist without tax payer dollars to support it's creation. We pay for the airways and research and then they take it away for their own control and profit. It's ours guys. You can't have it.

FCC head, Powell, has abused his power to preserve freedom of speech big time.

1. The media is the special interest you can't fight
I thought Dean had enough support to actually do so, but the media flexed it's muscles and proved me wrong.

2. Powell took over the media like a S.American rebel
Powell swung into action and destroyed the media for his own message. He's not much different than those old revolutionaries from S.America. Control the message and you control the masses.

He and Congress ignore our concerns. The 1996 law started it all.

3. "It's ours guys. You can't have it."
"They" have it already. Unfortunately, it's getting damn hard to tell "they" from "us". :grr:
