McCarthyism of the 50's,was the talk of the day on Network News and every Newspaper around the world. A similiar scenario with a more sinister message is being peddled by what is so called media. And that message is,it is okay to give these Racists a platform without calling them to task as Racist Baiting Hate Mongers.

(and our party) has a plan for dealing with media issues in the US, especially M$M and the dominance of conservative talk radio on our airwaves. Like maybe bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Big money in media (and campaigns obviously) is a fundamental issue. Fixing it is key to equitably, morally and effectively solving every other issue ultimately.

They should have shamed Sarah Palin back in 2008, for her racist rhetoric. They should have made it clear, "You are not bringing your hate into our public sphere." They should have shamed her to the point the GOP had to take her off the ticket.

Profit over country. That CEO asshole Moonves even admitted that the Con was bad for the country but good for CBS. This is a result of our everything-for-profit model.
