>> I mention it constantly

Well then, that makes ‘just the two us.’

I’m not big on breaking corporations apart — in a fair and competitive market, they’ll break and reform on their own as a consequence of an informed consumer base — however, the consumers are not informed.

You make a great point regarding broadcast — those frequencies are leased ultimately by the citizens.

No doubt you’ve noticed that the likes of Gingrich, Hannity, Rush, Levin, et al only speak to the wicked MSM. No mention is ever made about the controlling parent companies. It’s pathetic, and I find it hard to take them seriously when all they do is bemoan the MSM minions.

There’s an article I found here a couple of days ago. It correctly speaks to the AT&T Time Warner merger that’s been a factor for months now. The second article from the Hill was published 3 weeks ago.

AT&T should punt CNN — else, every conservative subscriber should punt AT&T.

Trump’s pick to lead antitrust division raises concerns over vertical mergers

BY HARPER NEIDIG - 05/30/17 11:41 AM EDT

President Trump’s nominee to run the Department of Justice’s antitrust division said that vertical mergers, such as the proposed AT&T-Time Warner deal, can “raise competitive concerns.”

It has long been frustrating to me that all of the politicians on our side simply accept the censorship and control of left wing people in positions of power within the media.

Since 1992, (when I woke up to how they were manipulating that election) I have believed that we should be attacking these organizations with the intent of destroying their ability to control the "news."

The first thing we should have been doing is deliberately calling them out. For example, in every interview with George Stephanopolous, we should never refer to him by his name, or as a journalist.

We should always say "Mr Bill Clinton's press secretary pretending to be unbiased." Or some such. If talking to Cokie Roberts, we should say "Democrat Senator's daughter."

We should use every opportunity to broadcast to the American people that these people whom they regard as "Journalists" are actually partisan agents with deep connections to the Democrat party.

We should be trying to damage them, not get along with them. We should make it clear that we consider them biased and we should bring the topic up every time we are on camera.

But our side doesn't seem to realize that it's in a war, and the other side has all the broadcasting equipment.
