And I'm not sure if there IS such a thing as "policing" the media, when you get down to brass tacks. (is a "state approved" media really anything other than the state?) I haven't really signed on, or even taken a position, on the idea of breaking up FB (which I think remains just an idea at this point). As I said before, I don't have any really good answers .. but I do see a huge problem.

And Zuckerberg's cavalier, "give-a-sh*t", attitude toward his impact on the elections and democracy in general .. frankly pisses me off! Big time. So I wouldn't mind too much if somebody slapped the sh*t out of the smarmy little pr*ck .. even while recognizing that it might not represent justice or good policy in the truest sense.
