Democracy requires more direct participation than writing witty outraged thoughts on websites. It requires writing and calling one's elected representatives, tracking their votes on bills, and letting them know that they are being watched by their constituents. They probably believe that, in the absence of feedback from their constituents, that their chosen courses of action are acceptable to "the silent majority".

If you're not happy with the FCC's methods of guardianship of the public airwaves, ask yourself when it was that you last wrote your congressperson(s) and demanded action. How many of you keep track of legislation? How many of you even know who your congresspeople are?
