Reply #5: It is frighteningly accurate [View All]

I'm old enough to remember when news used to be fairly accurate and representative of the people on the whole. Fringe ideas were routinely ignored in favor of more legitimate information from reliable sources.

When a station did do commentary, it was clearly labeled as such and responsible people were offered a chance to submit their own views and actually got airtime.

Today we have nothing of the sort. CNN may be the closest thing we have to fair representation of information in cable TV media, yet they spread nearly as much right-wing propaganda as Fox. Huge corporations control 90% of the information we are fed on a daily basis.

Democracy is doomed in this country unless we can reverse this tide.
