As for the Mass Media not preventing you from your opinion's expression, you have no idea how coercion and public humiliation factor in.
As an independent individual, I have nowhere near the ability of major corporations to express my opinion to a wide audience of people, whereas the Networks do, and they have a much, MUCH stronger ability to smear your name, generate outrageous rumors, make unchallenged accusations and in general ruin my good name.
Networks play upon the inherent need for trust between the source and the audience, and people will believe a powerful company with numerous talking heads rather than one nobody who speaks his mind.
Speaking up in America means risking your reputation, and regardless of what you children want to believe, what people say CAN fucking hurt you, as in how the rest of your community treats you, how police will call you up when FOX news calls you a terrorist, how your family may be terrorized by radical opposition. (Like death threats to Cindy Sheehan, etc)
The field is imbalanced, and don't fucking act like the 1st Amendment takes away the consequences of what you say, corporations and people have as much or more power than the government ever has.
Say that you openly oppose the War in Iraq at a republican caucus in, oh say, Alabama, and tell be that you stand very little chance of being hurt.
