Um, tell us again where you learned about all this stuff.  
I saw/heard it all in my friendly neighborhood major media.

If you’re disturbed because a giant arm doesn’t emerge from everyone’s TV and shake them until they See The Light, that’s another story.

Wow, sixteen whole words? That’s a good 20% more extensive than most media sound bites these days!

Soon all the media will be owned by two guys–Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.

Warren will buy some media soon because only Ted Koppel gives him the respect he deserves.
