Government & Corporate Control of The Peoples Airwaves ---- monied interests control of our media

As a Christian I understand that there is good and bad in both the Democratic and Republican parties. I also understand that President Bush had nowhere near a landslide mandate in 2000 or 2004 and it is alarming that he continues to try to govern across the board as if he did. Without a public mandate and with polls telling us the public is clearly satisfied with PBS programming the Bush administration is pretending programming is too far to the left and that there is public disatisfaction and is placing an ombudsman to screen PBS programming for anything "controversial". What that means is that they want to intimidate, control and prevent any negative reporting about corporate America or U.S. policy here and overseas. The Bush administration is highly vulnerable and PBS is one of the more likely stations to report the truth. With all the downward pressure already impinging on the truth from conservative owned networks and radio stations this administration wants to squelch any chance the broader population will hear the truth on public T.V. PBS is somewhat of a counter to the clearly rightwing oriented news on FOX but it is a pull back to the center, not to the left by any measure. Tomlinson, the chairman of PBS placed in charge by Bush, is spearheading this effort to try to intimidate the truth. I got news for Bush and his PBS chairman; the truth is controversial. There is no insult like the truth and you know, they cannot stand it. With each passing month this government is showing it's weakness in surrender to the "efficiency" of facist policy. The movement in past years to move away from the promise of the sanctity of airwaves owned by the people to all but completely handing it over to corporate monied interests has betrayed the original principle for the free expression of the peoples opinion in order to critically and fully examine not only their government but the corporate behavior of the same monied interests that have control of the airwaves and needs to be returned to it's original purpose which somehow has been allowed to be gradually weakened over the years by law makers evidently compromised by monied interests. I wholly disagree with the former FCC Director Mark Fowler in concluding that "the perception of broadcasters as community trustees should be replaced by a view of broadcasters as marketplace participants." This is an unbelievable concession to ignorance in regard to the power and influence of money and should be completely reversed and restored to the community trustee ideal. The temptation to quell commentary that may seem critical or painful to the interests of "money" and the market place has become too great. It is not hard to see how society has become skewed in so many ways in regard to the interests of the wealthy and it is in significant part due to the repression of wide open opinions "threatning" to the wealthy in which now are only found in the corners of the internet. Also the efforts to leave our public air waves in the hands of fewer and fewer owners has gone beyond alarming betraying the common sense of the need of the diversity of opinion and we need to dig our heels in here and say no more to this misuse and abuse of a "war on terror".
