3. The Net
Hopefully, they are using the Net instead of MS news. This is the ONLY media which isn't controlled by * Administration.

4. While this is a good sign, why hasn't anyone come up with an alternative
media outlet. CNN and MSNBC are really almost as bad as FOX, especially when it comes to Democrats. RatherGate scared off network news. We need a real news outlet. What do we know about what is going on in the world, when we are given gov't spin by corporate media?

8. I love Randi when she talks about the five families of TeeVee
news. "The Godfather" music plays in the background. Can't you just picture them around the table, plotting.

11. Truly
CNBC out-whored them during the leadup to the war. CBS and Newsweek blunder there way into being an object of derision by the right wing. NY Times is an unapologetic war promoter.

12. The first one of the networks to "go left" will clean up!
This has been true since bu$hler took power. That it has not happened indicates collusion, pure and simple. I hope America survives so that historians can dissect the way the "free press" in this country rolled over for the government.

13. Fox isn't news, it's a cheerleader.
And this is what happens when the team's having a crap year.

14. Probably started after more and more news outlets talked of pensions...
maybe people are finally connecting the dots... and did I mention the size of each dot is 50 feet wide? Kinda hard to miss... but at least people are seeing them and the truth.

17. Their Numbers Have Always Been Bullshit
Just like *'s. Inflated lies.
