I certainly agree that free media are the best defence against tyranny. It seems to me that you're ignoring the fact that media monopolies are restricted media. How do we react effectively when the free market fails and produces a restricted media?

there is and never has been such a thing. (except by word of mouth)

Even boards like these only "allow" politically "correct" speech.

Even if free means (in politics) what you think, (and it does not), you still cannot eliminate "INTERESTS".

Powerful people and corps only need create enough interest and your media will be happy to promote any level of tryanny that they have the "opportunity" to line their pockets with!

Just like here.

As long as you and yours are chirping, Real, I'm not too worried.

10 years ago people were whispering in the shadows, imagine what it will be 10 years from now

with or without me, what you do need to worry most about is the machinations of your own devises. at least until you get night vision.
