A few "Banned" books that I read as a kid and teenager Diary of Anne Frank (age 10) Slaughterhouse Five (age 17) Catcher in the Rye (Age 17) Lord of the Flies (Age 14) Though not banned I read a lot of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Jackie Collins as a teenager. LOL.

A dark blue graphic with the heading “Democracy & Rule of Law” in yellow. Centered white text reads, “Your vote is the rule of law. Enforce it.” Beneath it, light blue text encourages viewers to check their registration and plan to vote early, followed by my.arizona.vote.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.
