Have you bought or sold your liberty?

A clever point raised by corporate media: So long as a free media exists, we remain free.
How “free” is our media? When linked to high finance it becomes less free, and so too us. And, thus, when will the submissive public become free of corporate media financiers? When will we be free of linear media repetition? When will we be freed from political media sandbox games?
The “too big to fail” financial feudal lords represent our lack of freedom. The mindless parroting of national media pundits chains the public mind. The illusion of political choice keeps the herd distracted and ignorantly satisfied.
The defenders of liberty will be but outlaws, so long as a horde of knaves shall rule.
Contrary to popular belief, the American public becomes less free with each passing day, much due to fear, greed, complacency — and ratings/revenue-based biased media. Who among us can claim ownership of individual thought, thought not sieved by corporate media? He who buys or sells his liberty becomes a slave.
In what manner did you buy or sell a piece of your liberty today?
