[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1319253, member: 22662"] With a Supreme Court that has ruled money to be speech and is on the verge of throwing out all campaign finance laws, what makes you think they would have a problem with the FCC allowing those with more money to have control of the internet and it's content? The question isn't whether the money is speech, the question is now whether money will be allowed to effectively drown out other speech. Think very carefully before you again utter "left wing media" or "main stream media". The rich and powerful in this country have been pushing politics ever farther right in this country for 30 years. They've done it with cable news and buying newspapers. They've benefitted from a right wing blogosphere and now aim to control it. It's just speech after all. The government can't regulate that now can they? [/QUOTE]
