Media control
To the editor:
Lest our nation take one more step closer toward fascism, I am writing to remind all concerned citizens that the first thing a dictator does when he takes over a country is seize control of the media. Our access to truth is foundational to the functioning of our democracy. We are on the brink of losing both unless FCC Chairman (Kevin) Martin’s attempts to allow further consolidation the media are stopped by a groundswell of public outrage and the passing of The Media Ownership Act of 2007 (S.2332). Speak out while your voice can still be heard.
