A Free Society?

A society without the benefit of a free and unimpeded Press will always suffer from a lack of understanding and awareness of the world in which they live. Likewise, a press that is so-called 'free' but which is owned by like-minded individuals acting in concert to misdirect and divert attention away from topics and subjects that have a direct affect on the citizens and their lives unjustifiably endangers the Peoples right to know. There is no excuse for allowing the consolidation of "news outlets" to a handful of conglomerates whose synchronized goals are in essense, directly counter to the ideals and principals of a "free press". By bedding with the rich and powerful movers and shakers of business and government these multinational and multiconglomerate organizations ruthlessly extoll diversionary and divisive reports aimed to arouse and sustain violence, fear, and simply the pacification of an entire society--ultimately the entire Human Race will be adversely affected by the implication of these news sources that to protest is wrong and ultimately undermines the National Security of the United States--yea right; I don't see any sheep around here but the wool hanging in front of my eyes is getting pretty thick. Think and question the actions and decisions of those individuals that were supposedly fairly elected officials sworn to work for your best interests--not the military's, multinational corporations, or any other entity for that matter. Together we can fix this mess...help us try.
