Nice little read, from 2004 (I wanted to get something from back in the day to show this is been going on awhile now)...
“Left unregulated, the modern media could present serious threats to democracy.” Sunstein calls for a “New Deal for Speech,” in which government will treat speech in exactly the same way as it already treats property, namely, as something that is really owned by government, and which citizens are only permitted to use or engage in when they meet conditions established by government to promote fairness and justice."
There is a reason 98% or some such silly number of people that work in "mainstream media" are all on the left... it's all about control.
Another quote from even further back... that is predictive of human nature...
"Human beings, Jefferson wrote, are “inherently independent of all but moral law.” If men defy that law, they are not free. They are slaves, at first to their own passions, eventually to political tyranny. For men who cannot govern their own passions cannot sustain a democratic government."
This is what you are watching occur right now. And so the wheel of human stupidity repeats itself as it has for thousands of years.
