Dont let big TV black out the media

The Issue

We allow media associations to gobble each other up and limit our options. We even go a step further to let them dictate the information, or lack there of, we are entitled to days before a historic election? 

I think someone else besides a government entity should be responsible for media broadcasting and though that is not possible, I think companies that (un) intentionally black out media channels a couple hours at a time until ultimately taking all channels away is disgusting. 

Something needs to change and it needs to start with the pockets of the companies that are getting paid from their customers as we all stare at a black screen!
