Since the MSM are keeping secrets
about war crimes, documents, etc. about this administration, for some reason I keep thinking this has to be against the law. If nothing else, they are just as guilty, with just as much blood on their hands as this administration!!!! Emailing this media gets you no where! There has to be a way to MAKE them report the real news!!!

Information dominance, they dominate the information that the mainstream publishes.

3. The best way I know is just stop watching...if enough people stop
watching the news (that mean all news from the media including cable) this might stop...after all they have advertisers and the want people to see their commercials.

6. The only solution for me....
is to turn it off, and use my television only as entertainment. There is more than enough information available to anyone who seeks it, but it will not come from your television screen. There is plenty to be outraged about, but corporate media re-directs your outrage to the trivial while valuable information passes you by. Their ratings have got to be in the toilet but corporate and government funded advertising will prop them up in the same way they do the stock market. Letters to the editor are my saving grace. While they rarely get published it is a more productive use of my time, as I almost always reach another level of understanding....if not of the world, then at least myself.

7. Kerry, Dean, Hillary, Reid, Obama. etc have yet to say a single word.
Are they "keeping this a secret" too?

If the Top Celebrity Democrats would stop "keeping this a secret" and start going on those interview/debate shows and raising hell about this, it would be on some Red State TV screens & front pages.

Why should Wolf(R), russert(R), Tweety(R) & Paula(R) talk about this if Kerry, Dean, Hillary & Obama wont even touch it?

9. They Have To See Us To Hear Us
Sure...it's easy to dismiss and say "don't watch 'em", and many of us don't...or rely on far more reliable sources for information and opinion. However, millions of others don't. They're products of a society that has dumbed down the news and now packages it with Viagra and runaway brides. It's ratings, money and the veneer of "credibility". We can ignore it, but they don't and this is what this regime uses to spread its misinformation and lies that keep us constantly on the defensive.

It's time for a show of numbers. Anyone remember how scared shit Faux and others got with that parade during the RNC in New York last summer? I think it's time for a couple thousand of our closest friends and have a friendly picnic/chat at CNN Center...where they can't BUT talk to us, or in front of Katie's little window to the world or wherever their little eyes are peering.
