Excellent graphic, Meek!

Me, too. The freedom of the internet scares those who would control us. It needs to stay free.

Note to CBS's affiliates: Do you really wanna go there?

Reuters laid off over 100 editors, the BBC plans a 15% cut in staff, anchors are biting the dust; what's the world coming to? The world needs their opinion.

Next thing you know people will be sending instant messages on their cell phones exposing the Washington Post and NY Times for making up stories. How will NPR or Chris Matthews make a living?

"Dying ain't much of a living."

It means the government has realized that 100,000 people reading one page per day can keep up with the rules and regulations the government publishes in the Federal Register and let the rest know what significant little bombshells are lurking in there.

Whereas one person could never read it all.

This has to frighten promulgators of a plethora of regulations which gain the weight of law unchallenged because no one knows they exist.

We (bloggers, FReepers, et.al.) are the serfs encroaching on their fiefdoms, complete with archaic lighting devices and rudimentary farm implements, and they are all scared for their jobs.

The MSM is more than willing to help them, just so they do not lose control of their one raison d'etre, namely: controlling what you and I think.

The two, media and bureaucrats, have had a cozy relationship until of late, where one creates the panic, the other the solution; sort of a co-dependant Munchausen's Syndrome.

If they weren't so Hell bent on eliminating God from the discussion, they'd be praying He forbid us from sentinent interaction. Perhaps if they spent more time praying, they would realize they are fighting a war they have already lost.
