Really? Matching up credentials Obama had a good chance of winning because all he had to do was to NOT be a Republican. Although, I must say, Palin definitely gave him an extra boost towards the end.

I'm not saying iLoqin is right (god forbid), but those six corporations will do what they can to protect their position and prosperity, just like any corporation. Don't make the mistake of believing that they give a **** about the fourth estate.

Note: I draw a distinct line between corporations and businesses. While all corporations are a type of business, not all business are corporations. When you are controlled by a board of directors that only cares about the share value of its stockholders, you are setting yourself up for all kinds of ethical gray areas.

This is why the internet has become so popular, although I've read some stories that google is pulling Ron Paul searches on some of his main articles and trying to hide them I cannot verify. But Ron Paul's popularity, along with many other people who speak out against the government has grown dramatically with the internet population.
