Tim:

I enjoyed your posting.  

However, I hardly would agree with your claim the the 'worst case of media
abuse was the canceling of a political debate in favor of commercial broad-
casting.'  I would have thought the Brady Bunch would have been much more 
in the public interest!!!

Anyway, don't the good citizens of this fine country (it IS a fine country,
isn't it Tim??) HAVE access to the media via equal access laws, lobbys,
etc.  Not perfect, not for EVERY citizen as you said you should be (surely
hyperbole on your part) but access non the less.  I mean, if you don't like
the violence, smut, smarmy soaps, animal programs showing wolves eating baby
deer, or whatever you can complain - and effect what happens!!!  So as I
said in my origional posting to which you replied, there DOES seem to be
a way for John Q. Citizen to make himself heard.

[That's 'Affect' what happen.  (thanks mom)]

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Ken Arndt
