They have devised every possible thrawart way to dominate the communication means to Americans. From TV to the internet this evil corporation is choking the democracy slowly. Their move to buy AT&T broadband has helped them inching closer to have the monopoly of communication in several key market areas in the country. In short, the word "freedom" does not exist under dictatorship and neither does the world "choice" exists under monopoly. Do you really need to watch garbages on TV.
