Just a thought. I noticed the other day that Time Warner AOL owns CNN. AOL and Netscape recently merged. Microsoft owns MSNBC ( hence the MS). These two corportations combined have dominant control over internet access, cable, internet programming (browsers, plugins,etc), Operating Systems and our news sources....and have dramatically increased their political clout in a number of ways. What's left?
