a big conglomerate from the south recently bought all the weeklies up and down the mid coast of our state. There is very little conservative voice now...and what is, is only a token and only printed if you're "under the radar."

I thought there were FCC regs against monopolies such as this?

the conservatives have GOT to start more papers = and weeklies are a good way to go. They can be started without such a large outlay - and they are powerful -

We've allowed the liberals to take over our colleges, our schools, and our papers - and they are doing everything they can to get us off the radio.

They have spent the last 20-30 years getting all their ducks in a row to control the information to the public. The last 2 elections were supposed to bring to fruition all their hard work and plans.

Then along came "talk" radio and the Internet - and it slipped away from them. And they have not a clue how to get back in the driver's seat.

No wonder they're berserk - or more so.

Only if you're Sinclair, and want to broadcast a documentary which exposes John Kerry as a liar and traitor.
