          Main stream media is balls. The latest war is a great distraction. The only way I hear about these things is social media and independent YouTube news channels.

    Boy I remember signing like 500 petitions to stop them from fucking this up a decade ago. I wonder how many of my tax dollars have gone to the FCC since they botched it.
