A free and fair media is essential to maintaining democracy. We can see that democracy is but a shell of its former self.

There are many thousands of paid corporate sock reptiles inhabiting the internet. You can see them every day on the DU and anywhere else you care to look. But that's not enough, the corporations must also infest all of print media, television and radio.

The nation is in very real trouble from an enemy far greater than any faked up terroristic threat.
