    Could you comment on...

    the FCC rules changes of 2003 that went largely unnoticed by the general public. In your opinion, is there any relationship between the government's propaganda efforts and MSM's complicity (esp NBC) in promoting the war in regards to these changes? If memory serves the consolidation of media ownership and the very threat of this type of deliberate manipulation was a primary fear of such changes.

    Thank you for your efforts.
