Goodman hits the nail on the head. The air waves belong to the American public, to be used for the public good. They are not to be used for propaganda or political gain for an organization. If they had been used for the public good, the electronic voting machine problems would have been so thoroughly covered they would be a thing of the past---not still occurring in these elections; Bush would have been prosecuted for war crimes, if we had gone to war in the first place if the press had really done their investigative job. I lay just as much blame on the press as I do this administration for the mess we are in now, both financially and our position in the world. However, not to be let off the hook are those Americans who 'don't want to hear or talk about politics' or say 'we can't do anything about it anyway' who will sit by and take no action personally to prevent events or limit their impact. Not only do they brush off being informed, they distain those who are and work to change things. I bet the press is delighted this is the case, because they sure don't publish letters or columnist that disagree.
