Think about it. Mass media doesn't need to get rich from us and also tell us what to do. We should not let it continue.

Declaration of Independence By Franklin Price 11/17/2020 Not yet were we a country Not yet the U.S.A. England was not listening To what we had to say Had no control of what we did Not represented for our tax We declared our independence A short summary of the facts Today we find ourselves again At a freedom ending place Technology and ultra-rich Are taking England's place Mass media now striving To take our rights away Amendment one is almost gone Of the how and what we say They began with good intentions At least it seems that way to me Where friends could get together Where opinions could be free The masses caught on quickly Made these Techies ultra-rich Now they think they know it all And Mass Media's a Money is not everything No matter what the raves The rich think that they're our owners We should not be their willing slaves Centralized communications Now control us at their whim We should declare our independence And take our freedom back from them Time that we released ourselves From Mass Media control Return the power to the people And raise the flag back up the pole
