The United States has slipped into an authoritarian government like the old U.S.S.R. that Gorbachev got rid of for Russia, but somehow authoritarianism managed to sneak into the United States. Now we have to reclaim democracy, so the media won't be government ran. We must not allow government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish in the United States.
I'm originally from Mpls., a really Democratic town, and state. Nice to see that the Brown Shirts have not been able to grind their heels over the oposition. RNC chose Mn. to demonstrate how useless it is/was to resist, and good 'ol Rachel whatever her silly name (State DA), got a taste of intelligent people who don't put up with Nazis, or their tactics, agents, plants, etc. Proud of my home state!

Wonder whether at least some of the restricting Bush-laws against the free press in the U.S. will be cancelled by the new president after Nov.

We live in hope.
With the exception of vulgarity, all restriction to the Constitution's Bill of Rights should be canceled by President Obama.
In the authoritarian government that we now have, tyranny and oppression are absent only when there is a FREE PRESS, so freedom of the press always goes first as the Bill of Rights is slowly squeezed out of the Constitution.
Right now it is exceptionally hard to stay on the computer. Comcast or whoever sends all kinds of crap trying to shut me down all the time. It is very difficult to stay up, but I am patient, because currently to hear the truth, all we have is the net.
