When the government allows its pet corporation to corner the market in its line of media. (Man 2: Consolidated corporate communications has applied to buy the entire FM Band.) (Bush: So it shall be done.) Uses it as a quasi-official party organ. And conspires with it to stifle opposing opinions. (Man: Our focus groups tell us that journalism is intrinsically Republican.)
