Well as far as regulating the media it was the last iidiot at the Funny Cookie Company that allowed it all to be sold to massive conglomerates. Now none of them have the slightest interest in educating the electorate, just the exact opposite.

Turn on the news, especially local stations, traffic reports, weather reports (mostly inaccurate), no national news and heaven forbid they tell us what is happening outside our borders.

The big three networks are not a lot better with their broadcast news (I don't count FOX because I already know how Murdoch thinks).

Very similar to the musroom theory of management - keep everyone in the dark and feed them horse manure.
