Disturbing change in the US government for the last 12 years.
Some of this may be tinfoil hat,but a lot of it is disturbing.


The American press can no longer be trusted. When the Government passed the Telecommunications act of 1996, it allowed consolidation of the media and control of all information received by the people to a small group of sources. This showed itself as large media mergers and virtually all information was soon controlled by the same small group of people. In June of 2003 additional legislation was passed which now allows all the news to be controlled from a single source.

1. ...no tinfoil here.......all facts.
We have been fighting the consolidation of the media for awhile now. Unfortunately, the head of the FCC is Colin Powell's kid, so you can imagine the impact we've had.
