#5 When I was growing up in Soviet Union, my father routinely listened to Voice of America, and Israel National Radio broadcasting in Russian. And that was 40 years ago. Frank.

#6 you assume ISPs won't be controlled?

When they finally figure out how to keep out Chinese hackers I'll be concerned. Till then...

#8 Funny, our press here surrendered control to thier ruling party long ago, as demonstrated by their failure to investigate and report scandals like Fast & Furious and the AG's personnel comitting perjury, the criminal behavior and ethical breaches by Dem members of Congress, (etc - list is far too long) -- and can't say that without mentioning the continued Pravda-like cherry-picking of coverage and outright spin on any negative news.

Argentine government "won" control, whereas our printed press surrendered it without a fight for the most part. And the nation is much worse off because of that.
