You'd be astonished at how it makes seemingly random events so clearly connected. :) Seriously, I have no doubt that in the halls of power, somewhere, this exact agenda has been discussed. Remember, Kevin Martin--FCC head--is a close ally of Bush and Cheney and has done their bidding to ensure these abuses of power never got investigated. He operates on one level, McConnell another, and so on. All cogs in the greater machine, with the end result being corporate and government control of our communications to a degree unforeseen in our experience.

I'm not trying to imply a conspiracy in this regard, just noting a very annoying and frustrating correlation.
