Should Internet, email, tv and all kind of media communications be control by the government?

there already are restrictions- the airwaves (correct me if I'm wrong) are technically property of the government, legally (radio broadcast). Also, there are restrictions on print and speech regard slander, libel, and incitement of hate crimes. These are all "controls" just less so than in a dictatorship, but not 100% free.
In my opinion, internet is the bastion of true absolute freedom. It is the only place you can really let out a good old fashioned "Jews control the government" or whatever else you can;t say or print traditionally lol. We need to keep the internet free from any and ALL control!!!

Well you could say that but its really the Giant corporations and the super Elite who control it all. Just take a look at General Electric they own NBC and they also sell 50,000 aircraft engines to the government and the super Elite own GE. The military industrial complex and the media work together to influence opinion so that the government run by the politicians they spent money on to get elected will buy more military equipment and give them government contracts. Its money that runs the government, remember the golden rule, He who has the gold makes the rules.

Erm....no.
Would that not defeat the whole point of free speech etc?
However, a lot of now is controlled, we are told what the government want us to know and everything else is covered up.

Well, if it means taking Murdochs power then im all for it.
However, the media needs to be independant, so we really understand the world

Absolutely no. The media should be free to say whatever they want.
