Did you really expect a different outcome?
Get real. The symbiotic relationship between governments and the media is the
best thing that ever happened to politicians of all stripes. The Supremes are
not going to enable a free and open market in media - the current political
system DEPENDS on the media to carry the water for the politicians and to shape
the culture. And the public education system does the rest...
