Topic: Media Monopoly

A news article about "killer competition" among civilian and military snipers is discussed, highlighting the glorification of long-range shooting. The hosts argue that people remain "dupes" of the media because no viable alternatives are presented to the six corporations that control the news. Updates on the military offensive in Chiapas, Mexico, are provided, noting the intentional destruction of rebel crops.

Alex Jones attempts a follow-up call to Richard Collison but is told the producer has already left for the night. The hosts discuss the "deplorable" nature of media gatekeepers who pick and choose what news the public sees. They prepare to transition to a segment on biometrics from a CBS affiliate, continuing their critique of technological surveillance.

A heated exchange focuses on the funding of public access television and the perceived monopoly held by Cablevision and Time Warner over right-of-ways. The argument posits that a true free market would support multiple cable systems rather than a single taxpayer-supported or city-controlled entity.
