The first thing a dictatorship needs to do is gain control of the press. Media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, an Aussie, is buying the american media bit by bit. The noted Fox News owner owns a fair percentage as is and now is trying to buy the Wall Street Journal as well. Here is a partial list: Corporate History

Now, don't you think this might be a small step in taking over the information highway. Murdoch is quite active in demanding a biased accounting of the news in an extreme right wing venue. It's been said that Fox news gets talking points directly from the white house. Be afraid, Be very afraid, A dictatorship is coming soon to a country near you. Thank God for MSNBC. I think he even tried to buy that to shut them up.
