I hope that you are right, Jefff.  I have also been disturbed by thebiased news
coverage (except as you can probably figure out since you know me, I would use
a different set of examples :-).  My only fear is that the net will still 
only go out to a limited group of people.  Most people will still have
the networks as their major source of news.  I feel a genuine sense of
frustration sometimes that it is extremely difficult to get out
information to most of the people. However, having the net is certainly
better than having nothing.
