i think you are right undoubtedly that most people seem to be accepting the war on terrorism but i believe that acceptance is very superficial very thin i believe it's based on the fact that people don't have information given to them by the media...let me give an example
the federal communications commission regulates radio and TV, telephone and satellite transmissions the concentration of media in the hands of few and fewer corporations isn't a news story but the changes in the last two decades have been remarkable
in 1983 90 percent of the major media were controlled by just 50 companies by 1992 that number had been cut in half to just two dozen companies
and by 2000 the overwhelming majority of the mass media was owned by only 6 companies 6 companies 6 6 6 companies...
AOL TIME WARNER DISNEY VICOM BURGLESMAN NEW CORPORATION AND VEVENDA UNIVERSAL
by 2006 all these companies were owned by one company
Clear Channel Communications
what you don't want
is to have so few owners in a community that they can dominate the dialogue and move it in any direction they might want to move it in without having the alternative of competing ideas to ensure that they are diverse owners of media
the founders of this country figured out a way for there to be a fairness in the media - to make it possible for ordinary people to create media
that means that it isn't in the hands of very large corporations (clear channel communications) but just locally owned locally produced organizations to the folks who are consuming it
that's the answer and right now we have a set of changes that will move us in exactly the wrong direction being considered and still the vast majority of Americans no nothing about it
3/4 of Americans had absolutely no idea what so ever NO IDEA WHAT SO EVER people who did actually know about it were almost universally opposed people do not have information given to them by the media.
we have enormous freedom that's not a gift that was given to us it's a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle centuries of people most of whose names are completely forgotten the ones who created the freedom and the rights that we now have
and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them sadly there is in fact a major effort to take them away right now.
