Tilt Target: Antitrust   "It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited market-place of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the Government itself or a private licensee." --1969 Supreme Court case, Red Lion v. FCC   Antitrust should be as simple as the sniff-test and enforced much more aggressively across all sectors.  The targets become easier to identify when looking for conflicts of interest.  With the media in particular, questions of credibility are highlighted by unattributed quotes, reports of unsubstantiated terror threats, stories left uninvestigated, and outright falsehoods that are not corrected once exposed.  This is all on top of the blatant monetary conflicts of interest for the media's corporate overseers. The public must reclaim the airwaves it rightfully owns by tilting the FCC and the antitrust division of the Department of Justice.  Clear Channel also must be confronted regarding its bullying business tactics, undue political influence, and policy of making news that it cannot then objectively report.  The under-utilized antitrust laws should also be applied to utilities, who have been shown to engage in energy market manipulation.  And for serving to limit the uninhibited market-place of ideas, the two-party system must also be tilted.     Tilt Target: Ashcroft Tilt Target: Budget Tilt Target: Corporate Personhood Tilt Target: Depleted Uranium Tilt Target: Environment Tilt Target: False Pretenses Tilt Target: Impeach Bush Tilt Target: Intolerance Tilt Target: Voting Tilt Target: Water Privatization   Proceed To Solution Details 5: The Positive Propaganda Campaign   Go To Solution Details 4: The Tilt Strategy   Go To Summary 4: Goal Setting                                  Go To Summary 5: Marketing The Message   Go To Main Menu
