"That's what Europe did. And I think that's what we'll have to do here."

These may be some of the most terrifying words I've ever heard.

"Local medias...you know, at some point companies will have to understand that they're actors, and not the government."

I wish the people in government understood the purpose of government. Specifically representational government, at least. Your job, government, at least in theory, is to protect the rights of the people, not to say "we're the government, so you have to do what we say." You serve the people, not the other way around!
