The American Media Will 'Elect' The Next President... [View All]

...and unless there's a miracle, it won't be a Democrat. Certainly you're not shocked at this prospect? The American Media has been a subsidiary of the Republican party for at least two decades. While Lefties were busy bemoaning the loss of the Fairness Doctrine and the monopolization of mass communications in America...the Righties were busying ignoring fairness and buying up the media. The bought and paid for American media has two duties: 1) promote Republicans in a positive way. 2) promote Democrats in a negative way.

- Let's get to the crux of the matter: The American media doesn't want a Democrat in the oval office. That's why they worked so hard to get Clinton impeached and Gore smeared. It's nothing personal...or even political...against Democrats. Now that the media is just another corporation looking for the most profit...they'll promote the politician that can help them with the bottom line or legislation that will help their businesses thrive.

- It's a given that traditional Democrats will devote a large chunk of the budget to social programs and services for the people. Those who own the media have billions of dollars invested in the very industries that depend on what a CEO Republican president has to offer.

- The Energy Industry can make billions instead of millions with a CEO president willing to sign on to environmental deregulation. Defense contractors can make trillions by helping to promote international instability and war. Other industries and groups friendly to the Bush Family can increase profits by supporting the privatization of government services, school vouchers or 'faith-based' social services.

- American politics has become all about money and power: the selling of legislation and the highest office to the highest bidder. Democrats can't compete monetarily because they supposedly represent the poor and disenfranchised. Even worse...the corporate media is working against Democrats to ensure a corporate friendly neocon stays in the White House. (Or a reasonable facsimile such as Lieberman).

- These are difficult times for Democracy in the absence of a free press and the blatant buying and selling of politicians, legislation and votes.

- It's up to you to help turn it around. A good start would be to demand investigations, hearings and indictments against the most corrupt executive branch in this nation's history. The corporate media will do their best to distract, distort and deflect...but they'll eventually relent and tell the truth once they know we won't give up until justice is served.
