i dont believe 99.9% of what i read and hear in the mainstream British media anyway, i rely on Al-Jazeera and RT for most of my news info.

True It can't always be trusted but making giving power to a group to watch over the media is a slippery slope

i think they've brought it on themselves with the phone hacking thing, its all owned by big business anyway. i dont believe our modern press is "Free" anyway, they're all affiliated either to left or right, Labour or Tory.

S'not news its just the ruling elite consoldating their positions in power, been going on for decades, the modern wave of it started with the enclosure act in the 1800 which rich ruling elite types stole millions of acres of common land for their own use.
