The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed a small group corporations to become the monopolistic owners of mainstream media. There are rules by which they abide & one of them is to never criticize the military industrial complex. Most presidential candidates don’t even go near it

I cite this act as a turning point quite often. Need to remedy.

The public is truly unaware of how much money we waste on defense when all industrial nations are business partners anyway. For fuck sakes, China builds rudder parts for Boeing. China & Russia do business with the biggest Multinational Corporations on the planet. We r all friends

The deregulation of the media started the Fairness Doctrine and continued with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. One could argue that these actions contributed to the current state of affairs. The video highlights the Telecommunications Act of '96. bit.ly/2Ot2c04
