From Slate’s Obama vs. McCain on media policy: “Both campaigns have ‘tech plans’ that include plenty of feel-good generalities. But behind them lie fundamental differences between the candidates and a rift between their main advisers. The essential difference lies in the view each candidate takes toward private power over the public media. McCain and his advisers put their faith in the private sector’s ability to provide a full and healthy information environment, and regard most government intervention as counterproductive. Camp Obama, meanwhile, believes in the need for serious oversight over what it perceives as real potential for abuse. This philosophical divide will translate into real differences over the next four years.” [Hat tip to Alex for the link]

I lean more to McCain on this issue, I believe there is the about the same chance of corruption no matter which way you go. I have more faith in the non-government entity.
unfortunately for you there is no such thing as a non-governmental entity…
the republicans join the government to get rid of government while they remain a government official? - makes about as much sense as all the other stupid crap that comes out of a republican’s mouth… - they should all be hanged…
really hanged? Seems like a harsh punishment for someone that has a different point of view then you. If you do not agree with me then you should die.
sarcasm gets lost in text… - i think we should all have tea together… - suspend our campaigns and work this thing out…
it’s the ‘hands-off’ approach that’s gotten us into this financial mess in the first place, as it has before and will probably do again in the future. the problem with the private sector is that it’s focus on profit margins leads to predatory practices. And the prey is always the average citizen that the government (when it works the way it’s supposed to) is there to protect.
