... it the way you want very easily. All you have to do is get the constitution amended to eliminate the clause of the First Amendment which says that "Congress shall pass no law abridging the freedom of the press".

Shouldn't be too difficult. The news media isn't very popular these days.

I don't have the exact quote handy, but Thomas Jefferson once said something to the effect of: "If I had to choose between having a government without a free press and a free press without a government, I would choose the latter." Me, too.

I agree with Peter. We should place blame for this where it belongs -- on the idiots who can't think for themselves.
