1 The media lately has never been for the public, it's always about manipulating the public.

I for once want to know the truth and not the fake narrative the so called media tried to feed me.

I also want the right to be left alone to do my own thing, as long as I don't harm, or cause harm to others.

2 The Telecommunications Act of 1996? Wasn't that during Bill Clinton's term in office? Uh-huh. Seems we had a fairly civil society before then. Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill used to argue with each other all day long and, at the end of the day, they would have a drink together. They could make deals. They could compromise for the good of the country. Now it's all vitriol all the time coming out of your television and newspapers. There is no compromise and certainly no civility. Goebbels would be proud.
