"However, I would hope that you see that the EXACT same thing goes on in the reporting of political affairs in this country."

Um, no, I don't. Most Americans don't have a clue about 90% of the facts in that article alone. There is nothing in that article not based in fact. I agree about the speed of information. Events that were formerly only reported on a local or regional level now make it to national coverage instantly, which gives an illusion of an epidemic when the actual frequency of such tragedies is lower than ever. A hundred years ago, some of the worst catastrophes in history were at most a brief blurb in some corner of a newspaper, if it happened someplace far away.

I suppose "the sky is falling" analogy with regard to fascism is based in events which are still playing out currently, isn't it. So it's impossible to make a perfect prediction of what the future holds in that regard. What cannot be denied is that all of the observations are true, and that we better than most, understand firsthand that the corporate media hypes and lies constantly today. It is not merely, as you suggest, a greater flow of information or the speed with which it is delivered. The point is that the process itself intentionally misleads the public toward beliefs and demands which are favorable to corporate profit, and has little interest in simply reporting the truth in any remotely objective manner. Everyone here knows by know that the war in Iraq hinged heavily on media censorship of dissent and the reasons for not going to war. Now that the objective of planting the military in a quagmire has been achieved, they begin to report concerns that were everywhere in alternative media way back in 2002 and early 2003. By this example alone, and by our being personally affected by lies and censorship about pedosexuality and the typical behavior associated with it, I would think that you'd agree that American media today is indeed being controlled, restricted, censored, and focused on certain issues at the expense of others, ...for "some" ulterior motive. If it is not immensely disturbing to you that our media is no longer free to report or investigate what it used to regularly, then you must not understand the significance of it, not to a free society, and certainly not to our own oppression, which they nurture consistantly and without regard for the truth.

Like it said... four corporations control *most* of our information today. You will never convince me that this does not suggest that the sky is falling on American freedom.
