I skimmed the article but this seems daunting (among other claims) . quote: The position implies that First Amendment rights belong to the employers – in this case the five power media groups. And when convenient, the First Amendment becomes a broad shield to hide behind. Let’s not forget, however; the airwaves belong to the people. Is there no public interest left-while these media giants make their private fortunes using the public airwaves? Can corporations have the power to influence the media reporting, even at the expense of the truth? Apparently so.

well of course, the JOB CREATORS must have precedence at all times over the rights of INDIVIDUALS, and pesky truth-telling individuals even more so.murdoch and his ilk may be able to avoid the law but i foresee a life of slavery for them next time around. what a piece of work. and roger ailes even more so. sounds a great game, jane, unforch i would be asleep in a half hour, booze puts me right under.
