13. "First they came for RCTV..."

"...and I said nothing..."

Like you say, it's only one out what...3 OR 4 STATIONS?

Never mind that it's the oldest...or just one of "3 or 4" stations...There are plenty of newspapers, right?

Despots go for the main media outlets first. Newspapers (there are now hundreds in Iraq, voicing the opinions of literally hundreds of political factions) are practically meaningless to a government. When you control the airwaves, you effectively control the people. At least that's what we've learned over the last 40 years.

You don't REALLY think that any newspaper in America controls any sort of opinion, do you?
