in the Age of Television, our information environment is completely different from what it was in 1783; that we have less to fear from government restraints than from television glut; that, in fact, we have no way of protecting ourselves from information disseminated by corporate America; and that, therefore, the battles for liberty must be fought on different terrains from where they once were.
This is interesting in the internet era; the corps controlling communication media aren't that interested in what's being said anymore, as much as just ensuring that people continue paying attn. Admittedly this attn is being aggregated in service to showing ads. But it mAkes me think about the disinterested algorithms promoting no specific content, except what will keep a user watching.
