once would have been the stuff of science-fiction novels. We can
increasingly obtain and consume whatever media we want, wherever and
whenever we want: television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the
bewildering variety of material available on the Internet.

This media cornucopia is a wonderful development for a free society-or so
you'd think.
