Josh Silver, the executive director of Free Press which last year hosted a convention here in Minnesota on transforming the media is continuing the struggle and will be have an event in Washington, the US capital, on May 14th this year for people from a variety of backgrounds to carry on the struggle to get a real transformation in the US media make sure the USA can have an informed populace. This organization is fighting for net neutrality to keep some of the big business types such as Time Warner and others from charging fees for people simply using the internet, these companies say excessively, as they really don't want a free internet anymore than the US mainstream media big wigs really want a free press. Hell that would mean real competition with the actual facts coming out rather than big business approved hot air which doesn't rattle the cages of these economic con artists and our virtual rulers. But damn the natives in the old USA are getting restive along with the immigrants here, and that scares the hell out of the hot air blowing status quo/quid pro quo crowd and clique.

Hey, Thomas Jefferson once said "A little rebellion is a good thing." In this case, it might be that a lot of rebellion is good thing to get a tranformed media which might restore a democratic form of government to this country so lacking over the last eight years. Let's damn do it! Si se puede!
