    Mergers And Oppositions

    Oh, The FCC will revoke Comcast's license in a few days.

    Same market interlocked ownership has failed. It will be disallowed and reversed.

    Murdoch will have to start selling outlets.

    The Roberts will get unDisneyfied.

    Fox will be deported to Australia.

    ABC will go solar; off air at sunset.

    Newscasters and commentators, from here on, will be strapped to lie detectors while broadcasting.

    That's why these companies are so frightened.

    They know advertising is dangerous.

    You can't sell time to just anyone.

    An idea might be included.

    Ideas aren't good for business as usual.

    Only approved messages should be allowed.

    We can't have anarchy.

    We invest in pretty white noise to keep a lid on independent thought.

    If people started to think whatever they wanted, they might change our children's minds.

    We don't like that.

    Children should be carefully lied to from birth. This country must remain as subserviantly inert as possible.

    Vote Republican until everyone else is in jail or dead.

    Support your local liars.

    Kill truth wherever its ugly head sticks out of an individual.

    Pray for idiocy.

    Convict all minorities except white fascists.

    Give foreigners wrong directions.

    Send them back to Mexico, Canada or Cuba.

    Let more people starve or be slaughtered.

    Make Democracy poisonous.

    Stay the course.

    Nixon was right!

    Honor John Birch.

    Hate.

    Spit.

    Shun.

    If someone doesn't understand, yell louder until they do.

    If someone disagrees, call Homeland Security.

    Keep America pure.
