    2008 has been a year of movement building that proved to lawmakers and corporate lobbyists that media reform is here to stay. Good one Thanks J Silver.

      Between Micheal Powell trying to put our news media into the hands of a few elites and his father lying us into war in Iraq, We certainly don't need any more of this family given positions of power.
      This artical seems a bit too hopeful considering the fact that we are lied to daily.
      And of course the greatest lie... 9-11

        Ah yes, we need to get away from the outrage of the private sector controlling the press. Only the government should approve what we can and cant hear from the media. Even this writer - how dare he think he can write freely on the internet without government approval? Now, if we can only officially get rid of that pesky first amendment of that 'flawed document' .

          I'm sick of the main stream media being the appologist for Israel, for our corrupt government and for our failed Federal Reserve System.
