this is just the next phase of the wealthy. total control of we the people.  its been years since there has been a bad story on murdock. now adelson can make sure only favorable stories about him are released. when is the last time you read a report, on the rothschields, rockerfellers, morgans or mellons. the cuts in reporting staff, especially in government reporting, should scare the hell out of all of us. open and transparent government, and that means live video broadcasts of all government meetings, of every kind and in every office and department, must be the law. no closed door meetings, period. any of us can be corrupted. we all have our price. im sure, like in everything, there are exceptions, but they are few.
