Two corrections to Anon's posting. 1. In "1984," one of the "neatest" technologies that Orwell's government had were TV screens that had video cameras in them. So the government could watch you and beam you propaganda at the same time. Plus, there were human spies everywhere. So, yes, Big Brother is all about watching us. As for liberal media, puuullllleeeeeaaassssse. Today's media is more about regurgitating corporate p.r. and blaring the latest soundbyte from any and every actor, musician, politico out there, no matter their partisan affiliation. The 24-hours news cycle is relentless. Mainstream media people don't have time to be partisan. They take whatever "news" they can get from whatever source, the more spin the better. And the last thing they want to do is piss off the people providing them with easy news (e.g., Corporate America, the White House, etc.) You could also say they don't have time to be good professionals anymore either. But it's sad to keep relying on that old hack, empty stereotype of the big bad liberal media.
