News and Media have failed us all -

Used to be journalists could dig until the kernals of absolute truth (those items that had either concrete proof or at the least the least amount of disagreement possible) were found. Now, thanks to corporate ownership the news and media are mostly fed items to print and discuss --many taken from AP or Reuters desks word for word.

Those who try to publish anything considered anti-government have usually been silenced, OR find the details to prove their story sealed under the guise of "national security". Never in our history has there been a more secretive and hidden administrative and military record.

Many of us are hoping the Internet (just the one) will become the latest stronghold of a free press but now even that could be jeopardized. 2 article links follow:

1 - FCC wants Christian morals for the net and cable

US COMMUNICATION watchdog the FCC is apparently so pleased with its moral crusade following the Janet Jackson boob it now wants to purge what it calls immorality from the interweb and cable channels.

None of the US media that are looking at this story have said how the FCC is planning to censor the interweb. We assume they would have to follow a similar model to China where autocratic censorship of a huge population on the Interweb has been largely successful.

The AP story on this by Michael Hill was picked up by just about every computer news outlet on the Web; if you do a Google search for "chat surveillance," you'll find dozens of hits quoting the article, along with various commentary.
